1890s Empty Spool Quilt
This 1890s Empty Spool patterned quilt with Garden Maze variation, has a vibrant pink calico background and varied calico patchwork throughout. The very best part? It’s backed with an incredibly rich saturated blue calico. A rare thing to find a quilt with a full blue calico backing. It showcases beautifully the intricate hand stitching and we’d argue could be beautifully displayed on either side because of it.
Found in North Carolina.

One small discoloration spot on the front. No other wear, tears or holes to note. In excellent condition.
Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project my friends. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
