QT914B Variation of Roman Coins Quilt Top
c.1875 with earlier fabrics
58 x 84 inches
New England
$215
Today's colors in an Antique quilt top that is over 150 years old! Here
is a variation of a design formation that was used in the early 1800s. I
wonder if this maker worked in a textile factory and came home with
samples of a huge array of designs in brown...The 1870's was the decade
where brown was the most popular color ...there are only so many colors
and eras repeat the past. Even though this is not a charm quilt, there
are dozens of different brown prints, in a variety of shades. The rows
of 2-3/4" x 4-1/2" "sideway bricks" for lack of a better term..are
joined by a 2-3/4" c.1845 strip of a print that is a stripe/calico of
grays, white and black...with a feeling of gray tones!
All hand pieced...this top has a few spots and one mouse hole :-(...One
could remove the bottom row and use that fabric to fix where needed. We
find this top to be so pleasing to look at.
Always sent with free shipping and, if out of state, no tax.
