Maine
$350
This delightful miniature Schoolhouse Quilt top was made during the
1880's. This is exactly the way I found the quilt. Someone backed it ..I
believe during the 1980's with a tea dyed muslin backing.
The adorable Schoolhouse blocks measure 5-1/2" square and are pieced
from solid black and an off white. The joining blocks measure 5-1/2 "
square and are a wonderful c.1880's light maroon calico. Edging is a
5/8" also in a solid black. The edging is finished with pillowcase
edge. Piecing was machine executed.
A delightful little piece with many possible places to go in one's home.
