This completely original bassinet quilt is comprised of fabrics dating from c.1850 to c.1875. Completely hand pieced and hand quilted then finished with a hand applied binding. The 16 patch pattern is a wonderful way to use up small pieces and, as we know, women of that era would never let anything go to waste. A tiny brown 1865 geometric fabric is used for the backing. This quilt has two sleeves sewn on the back as it hung in my home for years. Now ready to go on to another home..Organically washed and ready to be sent for your approval.
