Q9013 Amish Concentric Squares Folk Art Quilt, Log Cabin Variation
c.1865
48 x 74 inches
Big Valleu, Pennsylvania
$2,700
A quilt very possibly created during the Civil War era.
This is a very rare and unusual Amish piece that is comprised of early wools and wool challis
fabrics, some of which appear to be home woven. The backing fabric of this quilt is a grayish
tweedy flannel, an early flannel. The squares created here, using a variation of the
Log Cabin pattern, measure 11-1/2 inches. Each log measures approximately 1 inch in width.
Yes, this a Log Cabin but an oxymoron because it's so very folksy and it's such an early Amish piece.
This quilt is not only a rare piece but would create an artistically amazing wall hanging.
There's a lot of other information that I'd like to share. Please call or email.
