CONAH1 Spiderweb Quilt
c.1920
55 x 64 inches
New Hampshire
$2,200
Silk quilts are usually a mark of affluence. This quilt is no exception,
with a silk wholecloth rich Lavender backing. Packed away for over 100
years and now ready for a new home as an amazing piece of textile art
for your wall.
The blocks are not what you would think, but 7-1/2" on each of the 6
sides of a hexagon block! The piecing is made up of one whole block
surrounded by six half blocks, creating the larger pieced block. Each log
has a 5/8" width with lengths from 1-1/4" to 3-1/4". The center of
each Spiderweb is made up of 6 triangles measuring 1" on each side. All
Spiderwebs are joined with a 7/8" black silk strip. The outside border
measuring 2" is created from a very sophisticated raised weave silk
fabric. A 1/4" at the inner edge of the outer border is embellished with
gold silk stitching. There are hundreds of different calicos, plaids,
stripes, and solid silk fabrics used to create this stunning quilt.
In perfect condition and ready to be sent with free shipping for your
approval.
