Colors: Cream/Off White and Blues. Provenance: This quilt was handmade by my great grandmother and her 2 sisters on their midwestern farm 121 years ago. I do not think they used a machine. Im certain a quilt expert can take a closer look and determine.
It has been stored for years in a cedar chest. It was stored folded but refolded frequently.
I do not see any rips, tears or stains. I did notice when inspecting, it has, some fading.
It is in remarkable condition considering its age. Im hoping to re home this exceptional work of art, to a person that appreciates the craft and will treasure it for years to come.
