CONBP7 Amish Bars Crib Quilt
c.1940
38 x 38 inches
Lancaster County, PA
$3,500
This quilt ia a quintessential Lancaster, PA Amish double corner block
Bars Quilt. An original crib quilt so rare that at this point I am
unable to find it in any of the numerous Amish quilt books in my home
library.
Comprised of wool challies, pieced and quilted beautifully, as most
Amish quilts are, we also find hearts quilted into the quilt, sending
love to the little baby. The outside border measures approximately 6-1/2"
with a 3/4" separately applied binding. Wide bindings are a
signature of Amish quilts. The corner blocks measure 6 X 5-1/2" plus the
border. The inside corner blocks measure 1-1/4" square. The inside
border measures 1-1/4". The outside bars measure 2-1/2", the next bar
measures 4", the next bar 3", the center measures 3-1/8" with the bars
on the other side of the center bar matching in width.
The backing of the quilt is a gray cotton, as is seen on many Amish
quilts. The actual colors of this quilt are a very deep forest green,
lavender, lilac, purple, and black. I am listing these colors because I
am having trouble photographing this quilt and obtaining accurate colors.
Remember, quilts are always sent on approval for your in home viewing.
Please call for more information.
