What fun to find what we believe is a charm quilt! A charm quilt means there are no repeats of patterns. There are hundreds of different prints dating from C.1840 to C.1875. Where and how did this quilter collect all of these fabrics? The answer has been lost in time, but I wish the answer were known. The array of colors and patterns is fabulous!

Each "tumbler" measures 2-3/4" X 1-3/4". Piecing was all executed by machine with the finishing done by hand tying. The backing of this quilt is a fine natural color linen. The edge is pillowcased..meaning the fabrics were turned under and machine stitched closed.
