Sold Antiques
Quilts and other items on this page are already sold, but I encourage one to check out my sold items, as I occassionally will come across another item that is similar, of course not exact. Remember quilts are one of a kind and the uniqueness of them make them a very reasonable collectible textile. Remember each quilt is made by an individual woman or child or man or boy or possibly a group of people and there won't be another precisely like the one sold. In my opinoin, vintage and antique quilts on the market today are a great value overall especially when buying condition, quality, workmanship and design.

Offering this fabulous whole cloth chintz quilt with the cut out corners that were made for the early 4 poster beds. The size is very generous and can actually fit many of todays beds. The condition of this quilt would be considered mint, as it doesn't show wear and has never been washed. The quilt was probably just put up and never was used after being made. A true treasure and a fabulous textile. It has a glaze finish and since unwashed still very evident. The quilting is done in a clam shell like pattern and is stitched at 8 spi. It has a thin batting and lays so nicely on a bed. The separate binding is stitched on by hand. Also what adds to this quilt is the bars backing and it is done with some wonderful early fabric as shown. When one thinks this quilt is now approximately 170-180 years old and so fine and gorgeous. Take a look at the close ups and imagine how life was back then and wonder about the maker of this quilt. What kind of family was it from? What kind of work did they do? One figures this would have been purchased fabric, as it was not a scrap quilt. Acquired in Pennsylvania.

This interesting pattern,,, a strippie with flowers and vines and an applique of red and green in the strips and the border, so called it a Strippie Rose Vine. Actually couldn't find a published name for this pattern. It must have been published, as I have another quilt quite similar to this also on the web site, Q-754 in Gallery 1. This quilt is in very good condition and is ready to enjoy. It is finely hand quilted at 10 spi. There is tulip quilting patterns in the alternate strips of the quilt. The applique is stitched on by hand and well done. For the binding the front is turned to the back and hand stitched down. Lots of applique , as the red and green pieces are appliqued on the ground. This quilt originated out of Indiana,,, and the other quilt listed on the web site is also from Indiana. Curious if the 2 quilts came from the same family. Indiana.

Offering this special early Sampler Blocks quilt in "as is" condition. It is all hand appliqued and is also nicely hand quilted. There is lots of fine hand quilting on the quilt. 25 different blocks. Of the 25, approximately 13 have popping of fabrics in various stages, several about 4-5 are good and the others have various wear. This was a quilt I personally kept intending to do some restoration, but have decided to offer it for sale. The binding could be replaced with antique fabric if desired, as it was trimmed off at some time many years ago due to lots of wear, but the ground fabric is in very good condition and shows no wear or damage. There is some age marks or fold lines and the quilt has not been wet washed. With the discussion on Facebook with several quilt historians and enthusiast, one of the blocks appears to be similar to the Apple Pie Ridge Star block.( Please correct me if I am incorrect about this). The quilt could be Quaker, but I will leave the research to those that specialize in that field. These early dated quilts are not easily found, and being a sampler too. Acquired in Massachusetts.

This is an important quilt to collectors and those with serious interest in collecting signature quilts or those from Baltimore, Maryland. There is no question as to where is was made, as there are many signatures, it is dated July 1847 and also on the quilt in the blocks is Baltimore. The quilt although, not a typical Baltimore Album, might be considered one just prior to that time of those quilts as it is really earlier than the Baltimore Album quilts. It also has a wonderful border and the addition of the original separate fringe, add to the quality of this quilt. The fabrics are wonderful with some chintz and cottons used in the applique. The quilt is in excellent condition and has never been washed. It is hand quilted and hand appliqued. It is a true antique in every sense of the word,, and one that would be admired and appreciated. These quilts don't come along every day, as they often end up in collections or musuems. Serious inquiries please. ( more information coming)

This is a wonderful Double Wedding Ring quilt made in the 1930's using solid color fabrics. Amish wedding ring quilts were made using solids, but I have no provenance with the quilt other than it was purchased in Texas. It is in excellent condition.

The separate pink binding was stitched on by hand using very tiny stitches. The solid colors of blue, gold, green, lavender and pink make up the rainbow of colors in the rings. Nice scalloped edge.

It has a wonderful assortment of fabrics making up the smaller scale logs. They are only 3/4 inch wide. The hand quilting is extra nice too at 9-10 spi. The tiny binding is stitched by hand with the back being turned forward to the front. The outer border was made using cheater fabric that looks like a tiny pieced log pattern. The maker had a eye for fabric and had the thought for using this fabric for the border to go along with the pattern of the quilt. Displays well either hanging or on a bed or however one wishes. From Franklin County, Greencastle, Pennsylvania

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.

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.

The pattern Mohawk Trail or sometimes called Baby Bunting shows the variation of how a fan block can be put together. This maker used a variety of prints for the triangles and a pretty solid blue for the base of the fan. The quality of workmanship is very good looking at the points in the fan. The hand quilting is also fine at 8-9 spi. Lots of extra quilting went into this quilt as one can see the rows of quilting in the fan base and a pretty pattern in the white ground areas.

This information was passed onto me by an appreciated email:
Brackman 1991 “Our Country”, published Kansas City Star 1939. Unless KC Star got the pattern from someone else, predating their publication, your quilt is probably subsequent to 1939, maybe (just thinking) not until December 1941 (Pearl Harbor) or after. With that name, one would think the patriotic coloring was probably suggested with the pattern.

What a different pattern of applique rings. The central pattern of applique rings with little pots of posies and
the border having the green rings with the little flowerlets. This is the first time I have ever had or seen this
pattern of the Mountain Mist collection of quilt patterns. (I wonder how many of these have been located in the
collecting world.) A pretty quilt with nice quilting and applique. Hand quilted at 7-8 spi. A separate hand bound
binding. This quilt is in the Mountain Mist Blue Book of quilts on page 54. This was pattern #95. I noticed in the book
it mentions this pattern was retired. This is a great one for a collection, especially if seeking these quilts. Quilted
in the way the pattern recommended. Great example. Excellent condition. Circa 1940's.

This original wool Capps Indian trade blanket is in fantastic, near mint condition. It is known as a striped "Osage"
pattern shown in a 1913 catalog. A similar blanket is shown in the book Language of the Robe by Bob Kapoun on page 85.
It was well taken care of and has the first Capps postage stamp label, as shown. This is a simply stripes pattern of
the trade blanket patterns. If it weren't for just 5 or so small spots on the red felt binding(moth nibbles?), I could
call this blanket very mint,, especially for a wool blanket now about 100 year old! This blanket has the simple
elegance of fine mission furniture. As Barry Friedman mentions in his book Chasing Rainbows on page 74, "the Capps
blankets maintained their simple beauty from their beginning in 1892 to the end in 1917". There is some good reading
about the Capps blanket line in this this chapter of Barry's book. What a wonderful collectors blanket that displays
well and has the condition to match. A special blanket indeed.

This minature scale basket quilt has a real history of names on it.. The quilt has approximately 230 baskets and
numerous names. The baskets are pieced and the handle is appliqued. The blocks are only 3 1/4 inches big. It is all
hand quilted and also hand pieced. Unfortunately this quilt was really used and is not in the best of condition. There
are about 82 baskets of the some 230 that have various degrees of wear from very slight to extensive.. There's a piece
out of the corner and damage on the upper right side. This is more of a history quilt,, or like a favorite book that
someone or many loved. The quilt came out of the New York area. Some of the names include N Stewart, Inez Porter, Miss
Judith Rogers, Ethel Young, Frank Wheeler, Mrs A S Bassett, Miss Mattie Bassett, Jonathan Hanyes, Miss D Mills, Frank W
Wale, and many more. Most of the names are legible and there are names in all of the blocks set between the baskets.
This could be a real study quilt for the right person. This is a quilt I purchased because of the love for the pattern
and the history that could possible be found with such a treasure trove of family names from over 140 plus years ago. I
hope this quilt finds the home where it will be in better care than it had it its past and be loved and cherished. One
may even find a decendant of one of the names found on the quilt.

Kapoun and is also on a featured page in Chasing Rainbows by Barry Friedman. Barry Friedman mentions this is one of
the very best Jacobs Oregon City patterns. This is the 4th Oregon City blanket label and it's still attached, shown.

are a couple of slits in the edging. Also the backing has wear. It has wonderful hand quilting at 9 spi and very well

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.
