Q9067 Wool Log Cabin Barn Raising
c. 1885
74 x 76 inches
Buncombe County, NC
$3,300
WOW! This quilt is so graphically exquisite...classy, sophisticated and
just captivating.....Yes, I am totally enthralled with his quilt. It is
so difficult to find a quilt with gray and black as prominent colors. In
addition this quilt has over a dozen prominent gray silk velvet
chimneys....again something I have never seen in these past 35 years.
Constructed with 3/4" logs creating an 8" block with 2-1/2"chimneys.
There is a 4" border constructed from four 1" strips...alternating a rich
brown with a gorgeous stripe on the diagonal -- a border I have never seen
before. The outside 1" brown in the border is turned over front to back
and hand closed as a binding. All work appears to have been done by
hand. The backing is a beautiful paisley. The fabrics are wool, wool
challis and silk velvet.
The pattern: Barn Raising Log Cabin, is well known. However, this quilter
appears to have been a graphic artist even though she would not have had
any formal schooling in this subject as would have not been realized by
women of that era.
What a fabulous piece of art for one special wall. Ready to be sent with
free shipping for your approval.
