I left one quilt out of my estate sale finds posts last month!
Maybe because it really needed a bath...fast! (and not because Watson sat on it!)
It was made circa 1930.
I like that the baskets are scrappy.
wet quilt drying out on the deck...
Love that the setting triangles and the 2-3 inch border is also pieced!
There are a few loose seams but it is clean so I can go about fixing those...
The quilting is done in a squared off fan. The backing is pieced and likely home-dyed. Binding is back to front. All the typical characteristics of a "southern" quilt.
cute. looks like it still has some strong beautiful color, or was the quilt just wet in those photos?
ReplyDeleteWonderful find. I love studying the old fabrics--this has some beauties!
