Q8979 Red & White Burgoyne Surrounded Quilt
c.1915
68 x 76
Lancaster, PA
$1,600
This quilt was beautifully machine pieced in a deep, rich red (Turkey
Red?) and a slightly off white, then many years later beautifully hand
quilted. The pieced top, I feel, was made around c.1870 from a much
earlier pattern not common to that era. We know that the top was quilted
later by the scalloped edges not seen on 19th century quilts. The
quilting designs, beautifully executed here, are designs that feel more
like 20th century.
Construction consists of 14" square blocks, 6-1/2" horizontal sashing,
8-1/2 " vertical sashing and finished with a 1/4" applied slightly off
white binding. The pieced blocks are quilted 3/4" apart on the
diagonal..the sashing has extensive vine, rope and medallion quilting.
Not only a beautiful bed quilt, but also a graphically wonderful quilt
for your wall. This unused, organically washed quilt is ready to be sent
for your in home approval.
