Unused Amish crib quilts are indeed a treasure. Graphically wonderful, amazing colors, and a true collector's piece. Double four corner blocks take their quilts to another level. This is an all cotton quilt created in the c.1920s. It measures 40 x 40 inches. The outside corner squares measure 9" x 9". The separately applied binding measures 5/8". The deep chocolate outer border measures 9" x 21-1/2". The inner corner blocks are 2-1/2" square. The inner border measures 2-1/2" x 16-/12".

The squares in the nine block configuration measure approx 1-1/4". The medium blue sashing is 1-3/4" in width. The backing is a medium gray. As is typical of Amish pieces, it is machine pieced, but exquisitely hand quilted. We have feathered vine quilting. In each of the small corner blocks there is an echo quilted heart. There are also meandering vines, zigzag quilting, and cross hatching. All quilting stitches are small and perfectly even. This precious little quilt can be sent to you for your approval, with free shipping.
