This mint condition quilt top was pieced by hand. Almost all the fabrics were from the 1880's with some from the 1870's. There is one very obvious fabric that is from 1890, making this top c.1890.

Each block measures 10" square with the center measuring 3-1/2" square. The triangles measure 3" x 3" x 4". The sashing measures 2" in width. All fabrics are unused. The piecing is perfectly executed. Very unusual is the fact that there are no solid color fabrics, but dozens of different calicoes. A great study of mostly 1880's fabric designs!
