Southern Tulip Applique Quilt with Double Border
(Item: Q-597)This early southern Tulip applique quilt is in excellent condition. A wonderful example of southern style pattern, colors and quilting. It is hand quilted at 8-9 spi and machine appliqued, as done possibly to show off a newly acquired "modern" machine. Hand quilted in both brown and white threads. In the sashing and border there is double line quilting. The binding was done by turning the front to the back and hand stitched down. There are similar quilts shown in some of the southern state quilt books such as North Carolina Quilts, Mississippi Quilts and Georgia Quilts. It has been professionally cleaned, so is ready to display or add to a collection. Acquired in the southern Virginia area.
Circa: 1860-70's
