Cindys Antique Quilts

This great top in in excellent condition. It can be used as a summer-like coverlet or can be finished in several different ways. The fabrics are so great and what a variety. Looks to be some from 1900's all the way up to the 1950's. What a fabric study and so colorful. It dosen't look to have been used and is on foundation fabric stitched on by hand. Ohio

This Chain Variation quilt is in good condition and is all hand quilted at a nice even 11 spi. The small blocks are 1 1/2 inches square. More of a fabric quilt with all the fabrics used in constructing the quilt. A red gingham print binding was stitched on by hand. Some indigos and double pinks and plaids are included in the blocks. The quilt has had a bath and is clean. There are a few slight age spots and a handfull of brown blocks with some fabric deterioration, but they blend in and if desired could be easily replaced with 1880's fabric. A very pleasing quilt that displays well. Virginia

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.
