SAMPLER ANTIQUE QUILT 150 geometric silk blocks

SAMPLER ANTIQUE QUILT 150 geometric silk blocks

A tour de force of piecing, with blocks about 3" square in many varied geometric patterns. I haven't checked to see if there are repeats. Radiant silks. primarily shades of blue from sky to indigo. Some cracking as happens in Victorian silk quilts; it's easily reinforced as there is no embroidery over the seams. Plenty of life and use left in this unique 19th century quilt.
