The condition of this vintage Eagle applique quilt is excellent. Size 87x106. This pattern is made like the Great Seal of the United States. The bald eagle is our national bird, which represents freedom. Unused and only had one bath, this is a fine collectors quilt. One light spot, shown. Lots of fine hand quilting at 9 spi and the applique stitch is fine as well. The gold binding is applied separately and hand whipped on. The medallion center is surrounded by 13 hand appliqued 5 point stars. Fabrics for the ground are cotton and I believe taffeta for the applique.

The body consists of a shield of 13 red and white stripes. The red and white stripes represent the first 13 colonies, which 13 was used in many ways in this quilt.

A wonderful quilt to add to a patriotic collection or for that special room.
