Bid with confidence, and thanks for viewing! Item: Bought at an estate sale in southern Mississippi, this wonderful old quilt top is a generational creation. The corner blocks were created by a great-great-great grandmother, raised on a plantation near Goodman, Mississippi ~~ a former slave, and tenant/plantation worker after the war ~~ these blocks are constructed of 1800s calico print cottons that have weatd well over time, considering their age. They represent four crops: cotton, corn, peas, and sweet potatoes. Some feedsack and ticking materials were added later, and the blocks were foundation-pieced. The center cross was added probably around the 1950s, by later generations to represent blessings and the road to freedom that their ancestors lived through ~~ great historial folk-art! Age: Mid-1800s to 1950s-era ~~ generational quilt top. Size: 73" x 75" Handwork: Handpieced, hand-stitched with turkey-track stitching, and machine-sewn together. Batting: N/A Condition: Very good for its age, considering the blocks are nearing 150 years of age ~~ clean, colorful with minor fading, intact ~~ the turkey-track stitching is fabulous, and the historical value speaks for itself ~~ a MUST-HAVE for any folk-art collector!
