CONJS22 Variation of Rob Peter to Pay Paul, with Flying Geese Border Quilt
c.1850
83 x 87 inches
Franklin County, Pennsylvannia
$2,850
I have no idea what was on the mind of this expert quilt maker when she
designed this quilt. Each block is a combination of a four block
configuration..then each square is divided into a squared off Diamond in
a Square with the center joining block a Broken Dishes pattern. There is
a wonderful Flying Geese border 6" in width with each center Madder Dyed
Calico triangle measuring 4" X 4" X 6".
The squares have an assortment of very expensive fabrics, Indigo Calico,
Madder Dyed Calico (the same as in the border) and a Pink Calico. All
blocks are joined with a wonderful Linen, the same is used for the
backing. There is a 1/4" separately applied white binding in the same
white Linen.
The quilting is over the top! The 4-1/4" sashing has so much diagonal
quilting 1/4" apart that it appears stippled! The 9" blocks are quilted
in a diagonal grid 3/4" apart. The Flying Geese border is quilted with
Echo quilting on the Calico and straight line Echo quilting, forming a
right triangle 1/4' apart.
This unusual quilt appears never to have been used, but is now freshly
hand washed with an organic product and ready to be sent, for your
approval, with free shipping.
