An outstanding original crib quilt, the Old Mill Path, is quite a quilt with the best of early fabric and design. The extra details include the sawtooth border.
A circa 1850’s quilt that shines and is so well made.
In addition to the great front of the quilt is the amazing chintz backing. The glaze remains on the chintz as the quilt appears to have never been washed. There is some minor splits on that backside near the fold, but not significant in my opinion.
So essentially one could display this quilt on either side and call it 2 sided.
The wonderful green print and the madder fabrics are so handsome and rich in color as is the sawtooth border with the early pink print and an early blue print and the cornerstones of an early chrome orange. The frame with a rich deep brown early print. All a collectors delight.
