Illuminated colors in a host of printed wool challis fabrics, accentuated by the wide blue wool border. Every element of the construction speaks to the regional origin of this exemplary quilt. A treat from a distance, as the diagonal bands emerge from the grouping of colors, and a treat close up as one examines the beautiful prints in harmonious colors. Less pastel in person than it may appear on your screen.
c. 1880s 81" x 84" wool
