This beauty of a floral applique quilt is the Poppy Quilt. This quilt is in mint, unused condition, and has hand one rinse. It is finely hand quilted at 9 spi and the applique is very nice too. The separate red binding is also put on by hand. The size is generous too. This was a kit quilt and the maker did great workmanship. The quilting really stands out. There is a quilt like this in the book "American Quilt Classics from The Collection of Patricia Cox". The quilt looks great on a bed or a wall and displays well in other ways too.

This popular pattern called a Log Cabin quilt is in very good condition. It is pieced on a foundation and it's put together block by block. The center logs/blocks are all in blue and white and it is bordered with red and white log blocks which really makes this layout of color very striking. This is really more of a summer quilt, as there is no batting. The quilt has a signature on the back corner EB Spinning and the number 26 in old ink. The quilt looks to be older than 1926, so it may have been given to this person at that time or it has some other significance. The quilt was recently rinsed and there are some slight splits in about 5 of the white log strips, shown, and a small bleach like spot in a blue log. All this could be restored/repaired if desired, but not necessary to enjoy. The pattern and size make this a great wall quilt and also super on a bed. The size is good at 87x87. Western, Pa area.

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.

of tulips being applique,,but this is pieced and on the close up images one can see how it was done. The quilt looks
unwashed and has a few light storage spots and a couple small mends as shown. For the binding a separate tape is hand
stitched on. It is the older type of binding as woven tape was used on these earlier quilts at times. Pennsylvania

binding. This quilt is in the Mountain Mist Blue Book of quilts on page 54. This was pattern #95. I noticed in the book

is both hand and machine pieced. The blue chambray backing is also the fabric used for the hand appliqued binding.

images of the fabrics are shown. There is some slight migration of the pink color used in one of the fabrics, but not
obvious. Great fabric study quilt and displays well. The quilting is interesting, as there is an 8 point star and

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. Dating of this quilt is a conservative 1940's, as it was suggested that it may be more from the 1920's.
The solids make it more difficult to date. This is a strong quilt with vivid colors of red, green and cheddar on a
muslin ground and with Pennsylvania origin. I was told this was made by Verna Brittman or Brietman from Lancaster
County Pennsylvania. It is all hand quilted at 7 spi and also the applique is done by hand. An excellent collector
quilt.

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.
