F797 Folky Cotton Crazy Quilt Fragment
c.1890
20 x 20 inches
Maine
$225
What a fun piece that was created around 1890 with some fabrics going
back to C.1875. I found this quilt in Northern Maine. The construction
used here is a New England concept. There are actually 4 little Crazy
Quilts..each one bound and then joined together with like pieces.
The fabrics are mostly muted due to the fact that a lot of the 1870's
through the 1890's dyes were fugitive...meaning they can fade down to lighter
tones. We actually have here the khaki color that is so desirable today 🙂
A fun little piece perfect as a topping for your table, a grouping or
that hard to decorate corner of your home or office.
Now organically hand washed and ready to send for your approval.
