1910s Americana Patchwork Quilt
A gorgeous Americana quilt if we ever saw one. It also has a quilt inside of a quilt. Years ago, it was custom to use worn out quilts as batting for new quilts. A beautiful testament to nothing going to waste. Homespun backing and the lovely array of calicos adds to the intrigue of this quilt.
D E T A I L S
How it’s made: hand quilted and machine pieced
Weight: heavy
Measurements laid flat: 74” x 75”
Shown on a standard Full size bed.
C O N D I T I O N
Two prominent places where patchwork has worn away to reveal the quilt inside and a a few other small spots of wear here and there. One border edge is thinner where the inside quilt doesn’t come all the way to the edge as the new quilt was made larger than it’s repurposed batting it seems. Some slight fading along one edge of the border. Spots of discoloration throughout and one tiny spot of white paint but otherwise no major issues to note.
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.
⋒ This is an antique piece, all photos have been taken in natural light and with limited editing to reflect its condition. Please keep in mind all antique pieces have little imperfections and reflect the story and charm of the piece.
