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.
