  • Modified Item: No
  • Custom Bundle: No
  • Condition: The main flaw is that one of the very old fabrics used (pre-feedsack era) has tiny wear holes in the print, visible only when you see the quilt against a source of light: see pic # 9 to better understand this. That happens in multiple blocks. There is one small rip (pic # 9) and about 10 busted seams (no pics posted). There are 4 stains (example pic # 10). Please be advise it has a "technical" flaw: as you may notice on pic # 1 and on pic # 2, taken at an angle, the blocks on the left side of the quilt top are not all of the same size, and when the makers set them together, they created a certain warping that makes impossible to put the quilt top flat on the bed, so the "waves" see on pic # 2 are created. We are no quilters or experts in the field and have no idea if this situation is important, or if fixing it would be difficult or easy. The quilt top has no odors.

    Description

    Please notice this is just a quilt TOP: it is NOT a finished quilt, as there is no batting or backing under the pieced fabrics shown in the photos.
    It measures 94" by 84" across; the bed is a queen, 80" by 60".
    We are almost certain the fabrics used are cottons made in the USA between 1880 and 1920, give or take. Very similar fabrics are documented for that period of time in the book "Dating Fabrics: A Color Guite 1800 ~ 1960", by Eileen Jahnke Trestain.
    The pattern is Sawtooth, from The perfect Patchwork Primer (page 85); it might have other names as well.
    The piecing was done by hand (pic # 11).
    The makers used an economy of fabrics when putting this together: the most used cotton is on most of the photos; the other one, used in a limited number of blocks, is shown at close-up range on pic # 9.
    Please notice on pic # 11, of the piecing stitches, that the allowances left by the makers are not wide and, therefore, fixing the about 10 busted seams we notice might be challenging for the next owners (not much fabric left to re-stitch the seams, but please be aware we are no experts, it might be easier than we think).
    We combine shipping.
