Cindys Antique Quilts

Suspension Bridge Quilt(q-341) Circa 1880's, size 62x70. This wonderful graphic quilt has a lot of visual appeal. The pattern is also known as Broken Circle and Sunburst. The condition is good, as it's not quite perfect, but I was drawn to it by other factors. There is some fading of the fugitive green and there's a couple of old patches,one shown, on it that were left as is. Actually, the red patch isn't stitched through to the back , so I feel like it was made when the top was pieced. It is all hand quilted and not the smallest of stitches. Wonderful fabrics and a pattern to match. There's a few age, storage spots and a few light wear spots on the binding, but I don't see any other wear on the top. It is hand pieced. The separate binding was hand whipped on. Great backing too. Looks to be a southern quilt, as I did acquire it in the North Carolina Smokey Mountain area.
