Q8360 Orange Peel/Robbing Peter to Pay Paul
c. 1835
65 x 70 (including a 7¾ tail for a four poster bed)
Truly a collector’s quilt, this fabulous piece tells of its early New England history through its orange peel pattern and poster bed cut-outs. This quilt was originally made for a low poster bed. The fabrics are wonderful; with very early double pinks on the front and a homespun linen backing. Created before the sewing machine was commercially available to the public, this quilt is entirely hand pieced and diagonally quilted. The quilting lines alternate direction from row to row, creating a zig-zag pattern over the entire piece. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
