EARLY 1870s HAND PIECED ALBUM PATCH ANTIQUE QUILT

From the 1870\'s comes this HAND PIECED Album Patch quilt. The patches were made with cotton scraps including a bright blue strip with a floral center on a chocolate brown print with colorful florals, and it\'s counterpart on an olive greenground used for a few pieces and for the frame, with a creamy white for the background. The striped pattern makes this ordinary Album Patch extraordinary! Measuring 85\" x 73\", it has a thin cotton batting with seed fragments, a hand applied pink floral on tan binding, and acreamy white back. HAND QUILTED with outline quilting around the Album Patches, angle and diamond quilting on the pieces, Chevron quilting radiating outward from the white blocks making square centers, and diamond quilting on the border blocks, frame and borders @ 6 to 7 stitches per inch. PROFESSIONALLY HAND LAUNDERED, we find a couple small fabricsplits in the prints near the edges, but no rips, tears, stainsor odors. It appears that some feed sacks were used for the background as we found one area (shown) with lettering!
