Q6346 Basket Quilt c.1870 64 x 84 PA was $1600 now $1100 A wonderful basket quilt just reduced in time for the holiday season! Triple borders are in 2 5/8” green calico, 1 ½” white and 2 3/8” double pink calico and surround the twenty lovely baskets. The baskets are arranged so they look great when viewed from any direction and are comprised of various shades of over dyed greens in solids and calicos for the hand appliqued handles and majority of triangles. Turkey reds in various calicos accent the baskets, with one basket sporting red plaid! Exquisite hand quilting throughout the quilt includes large feather wreaths in the white joining blocks with half wreaths and echo quilting inside the handles. The triple borders and baskets are covered with fine ¾” cross hatch stitching. The backing is in solid white with an applied machine topstitched 3/8” white binding. This quilt has been hardly used and does have character showing in some areas in the form of shadowing which does not detract in any way from its beauty. It would be perfect either as art on the wall or for use on a bed. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. The shading is not for everyone and therefore the lower price... Quilts are always sent on approval! |

Q6243 H-Block Log Cabin c.1875 54 x 68 Pennsylvania was $2,600 now $1,400 This great smaller sized quilt is an example of a “hired man’s quilt”; made specifically to fit on a trundle bed. This quilt is a wonderful piece of history, and a fabulously graphic piece of textile art with its khaki, red and chrome orange border. The backing is an unusual floral on a geometric print in shades of brick red, khaki and rose. Chain stitches from the early treadle sewing machine are visible on the back of this quilt, which gives added interest. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.

This quilt is a perfect combination of colors and patterns for any child, and wouldn't it be fun on the wall in a twins' room? Judging by the unusual dimensions, perhaps it was originally made for this purpose, but it was never used. The sashing and borders are comprised of pink and blue cotton sateen, and the binding is formed from the turned over pink backing. This quilt has been machine pieced, but the Sues and Sams have been hand appliqued and embroidered, and the quilting is by hand as well. The quilt is in mint condition; all the cotton sateen still has its original shine, so Betsey will leave the professional washing decision up to you. Please ask Betsey for the reasons why she marked this quilt down! |

Q8355 Squares on Point c. 1845 90 x 94 upstate New York was $3,400 now $2,300 An early textile collector's dream, this large quilt contains a gorgeous array of fabrics from the 1840's. Note the substitution in the top sashing; a sure sign of a time when quilters used what was available if they came up short on fabric before completing their creations. The backing is a wholecloth brown stripe and geometric print; making this quilt totally reversible. The extravagant use of such costly fabric tells us this quilt was made by a wealthy family. Early beds in New England were 52 inches square, and high off the floor. Quilts at that time extended from the floor to the top of the mattress, which is why we have quilts which will fit today’s oversized queen mattresses. A fabulous find! Professionally hand washed by Betsey. Please ask Betsey for the reasons why she marked this quilt down! |

Q8434 Star of Bethlehem c.1880 79 x 79 Pennsylvania was $1,100 now $750 This vibrant quilt catches the eye with its deep, rich double pink background, reversing the usual graphic effect of this pattern on a light background. There are two different double pinks and an assortment of 1880's light prints and calicoes in the star, formed from 2 1/4 inch diamonds. The 3/8 inch binding has been turned over from the front to the back. The off white backing has the feel of feedsack fabric, which would be most unusual, as the fabrics used in the top are high quality cottons. The diamonds have been outline quilted, and the remainder of the quilt crosshatched in a 1 inch grid. All hand pieced and hand quilted, this quilt also comes with its maker's name, passed down through the family. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. Please ask Betsey for the reasons why she marked this quilt down! |

Q6396 Unusual Log Cabin c.1920 68 x 84 was $1,700, now $950 This log cabin quilt is unusual in its composition, but wonderfully graphic just the same! The “chimneys” and border are both a bold red and the “logs” are of an array of both 19th and 20th century fabrics. An amazingly graphic piece, and professionally hand washed by Betsey. Please ask Betsey for the reasons why she marked this quilt down! |
