  • Excellent, minor old mend
  • $ 9,500.00
  • available

 


WS 10785

A monumental graphic created from an elementary format--the pieced top made first as a Bars alternating tobacco and brilliant blue wool, then cut in four quadrants and their directions rotated to achieve this powerful image. Remarkably modern graphic from a quilt that dates from the last quarter of the 19th century and from a religious based community, most likely Amish or Mennonite Lancaster County, PA origin.

Handsome, unusual,fabuloously appealing colors, superb workmanship, composition, all present in this striking quilt.

A fine example of classic PA Mennonite aesthetic.

Each star arm is pieced of little bits or shards of early 20th century prints that glow against the black cotton sateen ground.

A penultimate example of a rustic quiltmaking form, making stars from fabric bits.
         
         
 

 
 

 

MAPLE LEAF tropical Deco prints

  • 78 sq
  • 1920-30s
  • Excellent never used crisp
  • $ 850.00
  • available

 


WS 10789

Wow, what an impact when tropical prints are used instead of staid solid colors to piece the classic leaf pattern. Hot colors in mostly verdant prints in teal, aqua, gold, hot pink. Skillfully pieced, a surely one-of-a-kind departure from the staid autumn leaf traditionals. All leaves face in the same direction, easy to look at should you want to hang it
         
         
 

 
 

 

SEERSUCKER FOUR-POINT or KITE

  • 78 sq
  • 1940s
  • Crisp never used untouched
  • $ 785.00
  • available

 


WS 10790

This is only the second quilt I have ever had pieced of seersucker, I think because because how the fabric is created makes it more difficult to piece evenly. This quiltmaker surmounted that challenge and made many blocks using a variety of seersucker prints, containing all within a solid salmon color border.
         
         
 

 
 

 

POSTAGE STAMP UPSCALED NINE PATCH

  • 76 "sq (double)
  • 1920-30s
  • Excellent untouched
  • $ 1,150.00
  • available

 


WS 10791

A complex and intricate pattern that enlarges a Nine Patch pattern to a monumental scale using postage stamp size pieces! Refreshing concept. Large pieced blocks contain 100+ tiny postage stamp prints. Placement of the greens within has created Xs that connect the blocks. That green is repeated in the green inner border and even more postage stamps create an outer border and corner blocks. Whew,lots of strategizing went into this composition; I couldn't do it, that's for sure.

WS 10792

Lovely variation on the classic wedding ring thanks to its serene combination of peach and green,made even more open by the white strips within the rings. Ends all around with the rings as a scalloped edge.
         
         
 

 
 

 

PIECED DIAMOND IN A SQUARE prints

  • 76 sq
  • 1920s-30s
  • $ 785.00
  • available

 


WS 10793

Different portions of the same print combine, the fabric probably bought specifically to create this pretty quilt. Rose, blue and pale green are included, but no one colors dominates; harmonious center diamond and similarly pieced corners and borders, dramatically intersected with solid white.

  • 1930s
  • Mint untouched
  • $ 675.00
  • available

 


WS 10794

One of the grand 1930s classics that would incorporate lots of charming Depression-era feedsack prints as a salvage art. All contained within a wide apple green border. Mint,untouched condition, beautiful colors can work in many interiors--peachy,violet, spring like. Classic with the dimaonds set in concentric squares. Fresh and appealing
