19th Century Applique Coverlet

A hand stitched applique top which was later backed and hand tacked. The applique is all done by hand, and the blocks are joined by hand as well. This is a great example of mid 1800s applique in early turkey reds and greens. The backing is a later addition in a sweet, blue, micro- floral print. There are some large,light water marks and other various marks from age. There are many areas where the dark designs in the turkey reds show rub away, as is typical of these fabrics due to the dye processes of that time and the way they age.
