This wonderful early Half Square Tirangles quilt set in a 4 block format keeps one looking at the many fantastic early fabrics.
Madders, purple, paisleys, greens, chrome, cheddar, butterscotch and so much more.
A circa 1860’s beauty.
The maker even had great fabric for the backing sparing no expense in making this so long ago.
This big 4 block filled with a catalog of fabrics as shown is a fabric designer and collectors delight. Thanks to Eileen Trestain Dating Fabric Book, I have cherished for years for a great education on early fabrics.
The dimensions are a generous 86x86 and being that it is square one can turn it either direction.
Overall unused condition with some what looks to be possibly water/age staining. It has not been washed.
A stunning antique quilt that shows the use of small pieces. Its showy design makes it one for many.
