A small sized antique quilt in the hard to aquire blue and white colour
combination, now very faded and soft in colour tone. This would look
lovely in an old cottage, on a single bed, or folded at the end of a
double bed.Age - Circa late 1800's. Where from - Ohio. Hand Sewn - The patchwork blocks have been hand sewn in tiny stitches. Machine Sewn - The blocks have been machine set. Hand Quilted - Yes. Hand Hemmed - Yes. Materials Used - White cottons which originally had prints, but
these have almost faded right away, and indigo blue calicoes - most of
which have faded to a very light blue, apart from one indigo blue which
has remained dark. Batting - Very thin thickness, cotton batting making this a very
light quilt. This is the type of quilt that needs smoothing out on the
bed. Backing Material - Off white cotton. Measurements - Approximately 72 inches by 51 inches. Fraying - A few areas on the quilt have been darned in the
quilt's long life - please see photos. One hem area has the largest
mend, front and back. Holes - A couple of tiny holes in the front. Holes all the way through - No. Stains - No, but lots of fading. Washed - Yes. Notes - postage on this quilt will be £5.00
