Offered for sale here is this beautiful antique patchwork quilt. It has been hand pieced and hand quilted of cotton flour and sugar sacks. It was made in an era when things were made to be used and this does have some areas of wear and is in need of some restoration. <p>
<p>
Specifically, there are pieces of the same fabric were less resilient than the other fabrics, and as a result the squares where pieces of this fabric was used have threadbare areas or places where the batting is almost completely exposed. However, in most places, the batting is still in place. The only other area of concern that I've noted is that one side of the quilt has an unfinished edge that will need to be dealt with. <p>
<p>
I don't consider this quilt to be a cutter, though I'm certainly not an authority on this. It just so lovely and such an example of beautiful hand piecing and quilting that it would be a shame not to leave it intact. I would consider that the ratio of intact squares to problem squares is great enough that it would be worthy of repair and restoration. <p>
<p>
There are few, if any areas of staining or dirt and it will be shipped to the new owner freshly and carefully laundered and line dried. Shipping is $20.00 to all areas within the continental USA. <p>
