This quilt was handmade. T are about 6 stitches to the inch. The stitching is nice and even. It is all cotton, medium weight. I believe it is from the first quarter of the 2oth century or perhaps as late as the 1930's. The prints are feedsack fabrics as far as I can tell. It measures 80" long by 64" across. I photographed it on top of my queen size bed, so that gives you an idea of the size as well.

This came from an estate. A middle-aged woman said it had belonged to her grandmother, but was not sure if her grandmother was the maker. She thought perhaps her great-grandmother had made it.

The condition is very good. The stitching is intact. I have shown you a couple of photos of the back and I hope you can see the stitches. T are no tears, rips, holes or frays that I can find. However, the white fabric has yellowed. It is freshly laundered and yet t are some yellowish spots, see photo #5. They do not show up a lot, and I think you quilt folks out t have the laundry-room secrets to whiten this up, if desired. All in all, it is just lovely for its age and has an amazing pattern!

I am only an email away so please ask questions before bidding. Thanks for looking and most of all HAVE FUN !!
