African-American Double Wedding Ring Quilt- Mint SOLD

This is a wonderful well made double Wedding Ring quilt that is unused and has never been washed. The information I acquired from the African- American man from whom I purchased this quilt from, said his mother had made the quilt. He was from Phoenix, AZ, but unsure where she lived originally. The condition is excellent. All hand quilted at 7-8 spi. A very pretty quilting design was quilted inbetween the circles. Note the separate, hand stitched binding, how 2 colors of fabric were used. Lavender on the 2 sides and yellow used on the top and bottom edge. A nice assortment of prints in the rings with connecting pieces of lavender and yellow. An excellent quilt that displays well.

Birds and Baskets Quilt- Yellow and White-- SOLD

This attractive yellow and white quilt has pieced 2 color baskets and the birds and the handles are appliqued. The basket and birds are machine appliqued with the birds having an embroidery stitch outlining the birds. A nice different border too with the extra stitching and the binding is done in the knife edge style. The yellow is a nice sateen cotton. Condition is mint for this quilt, as it appears was unused and has now had one wet wash. The hand quilting is very good at 8 spi. The different techniques used in making this quilt makes me wonder about the maker. I am not sure if this was a published pattern or one put together from a couple differnt patterns. Note the different activities of the birds, sitting and flying and in different positions on the basket. The quilt came from Indiana.

Minature Scale Field of Diamonds Hexagons Quilt

This small scale hexagons quilt with pieces only 1 inch in diameter is a labor of love made back in the 1920's or 30's. This pattern is called a Field of Diamonds. Think of the many hours that went into cutting and then hand piecing all the hexagons and then to quilt it by hand. There is also some machine quilting on the border and a small area on one side, unsure why. Maybe the maker was ready to get finished and that was the quickest way or possible she or he,, just got a new sewing machine and wanted to show off the work by adding it to the quilt. We'll never know. The quilt is in very good condition. A colorful quilt with many colors used and some of the fabrics look to be feedsacks. How the quilter coordinated the colors using prints and solids. For the binding the back was brought forward to the front and machine stitched down. The size is quite generous with it being 81x91 inches, so it could work on some doubles or queens or even lay on top of a king bed. This is a Kansas quilt.

Patriotic Eagle Antique Quilt w/ Border- Mint

What a great 4 block Eagle quilt that is in mint condition. It is unused and has never been washed and doesn't need it either. This quilt still shows the quilting lines marked with pencil. The 4 eagles and center medallion are appliqued and the border is pieced. The binding is done by turning the front to the back and was hand stitched down. Fabrics are all solids.

Suspension Bridge Quilt-Unavailable during MAQS exhibit

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. News,,,, Just discovered by an email that this pattern is also called Sunflower. It will be on exhibit at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Ky. This is some information on the exhibit as follows. "The National Quilt Museum is putting on an exhbit of antique Sunflower quilts titled “Golden Oldies”. The exhibit will open March 19 and the last day is June 15, 2010."
