This fabulous quilt will awake ones visual senses everytime you look at it. It is very drawing and appealing. A very southern quilt. The fabrics and pattern make this quilt so outstanding. Look at all those wonderful points and diamonds in the pattern. The quilting is all done by hand and the separate binding is also put on by hand . The quilt is hand pieced too.

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.

It is signed at the top "EOL Carl S Lamb" and dated 1949, as shown. The name and date is stitched on.

There is a quilt like this in America's Quilts and Coverlets by Stafford and Bishop, on page 182 image 266 and 266a. It notes in the book "A quilt was made with this pattern in 1930 by a lady in Colorado". This quilt pattern is also found in "Quilts- Their Story and How to Make Them" by Marie D. Webster between pages 152 and 153. The page shows a quilt made in 1858 with colours of red, green, yellow and pink. Information I found about this quilt pattern mentioned this Indiana Wreath pattern was published in Mccall's in 1935. What a special applique floral pattern quilt with the central basket full of flowers surrounded by flowers of many colors and a border of vines. Beautiful quilting. It hangs and displays well. Great collectors quilt too. A super quilt indeed!!

Minature Rainbow Hexagonal Quilt 3/4 INCH (q-275) Circa 1920's-30's, size 78x102. The condition of this fabulous quilt is excellent, looks unused. The small hand pieced and hand quilted pieces that make up this awesome quilt just make me want to know the person that made this quilt. It came from an estate in Wentworth, Mo. and with some research, found it was made by Pearl Davidson. There are approx 12,320 pieces in the quilt. All hand quilted at 9 spi. The little hexagons are only 3/4 inch and the side of each hexagon is less than an 1/2 inch. The separate tiny binding is hand whipped on. A real treasure and a special quilt. When hanging the center is not exactly flat. It is such a treat for the eyes with the use of solid cottons, making a field of hexagons. Lots of visual appeal. Missouri estate.
