Q9262 Log Cabin Straight Furrows Youth Summer Quilt
c.1875
46 x 58 inches
Maine
$1,400
The Log Cabin patterns came to us with women from England where this
pattern originated. One of the first patterns was called Straight
Furrows. The Furrows represented rows of plantings in the English
countryside. This is one such quilt..technically a summer coverlet. This
child's coverlet does not have a batting and the backing is the
foundation for the construction of this "quilt".
There is a special way of creating a quilt that is only of New England
origin. This quilt is created in that manner...happy to explain to the
buyer.
The quilt measures 48" X 58", has 9-1/2 " blocks, 2-1/2" chimneys and
logs that measure 3/4" in width. A wide array of prints and colors were
used in the quilt's creation. If you are searching for a color this quilt
should contain it. The size of this artistic endeavor makes it perfect
for art on your wall.
Apparently never used, this quilt is now organically washed and ready to
be sent, with free shipping for your approval.
