CONCA4 Linsey Homespun Lemon Peel Quilt
c.1865
65 x 78 inches
Massachusetts
$2,400
An unused Turkey Red and White "Martha Washington" quilt is indeed a
treasure. Red and white quilts are the second most popular quilt color
in the USA. Fabric of that era was made to last through many years of
use. Therefore the new owner of this unused antique quilt will have many
years of use and enjoyment.
The "Martha Washington" pattern is actually the "Flying Geese" pattern
with the center square split into two triangles. Perfectly executed by
hand, this quilt would be an amazingly graphic centerpiece either for
your wall or your bed.
The pattern consists of 13" squares with the small triangles measuring 1-3/4"
X 1-3/4" x 2-1/2". The inner split triangles measure 5-1/2" X 5-1/2
"X 8 ". All inner piecing and quilting is executed by hand, while the
1/4" separately applied binding was attached by treadle machine. Women
would never brag and this was the quilter's way of saying that she
possessed the new invention..the sewing machine. The center triangles
are quilted in a 1/2" grid, while the small triangles are quilted in a
straight line pattern. The small quilting stitches are perfectly executed.
This unused condition antique quilt is now organically hand washed and
ready to be sent, with free shipping.
