| Item# 89
AGE: Circa 1890 SIZE:15 1/2" x 10 1/2" LOCATION FOUND: Upstate NY DESCRIPTION: This is a darling doll quilt consisting of a nice array of vintage fabrics including shirtings, blue and brown weaves, and indigo prints. The 3 1/2" squares are bordered by 1" triangles, which is small in scale and often seen with miniature quilts. It is hand pieced, perhaps by a child, since it lacks precision. It is tied using red yarn. The quilt is thick as if made as a doll bed mattress. The back fabric is brought around to the front to finish the edges. CONDITION: This quilt has some fabric wear, significant fading, and some faint water stains however a nice early piece. It would make a nice display for an antique doll bed.
