Antique Postage Stamp Quilt c1890

Antique Postage Stamp Quilt c1890 

This is actually an Irish Chain patchwork if you look closely, the pink and white “double chains” run diagonally arcoss the quilt with the postage sized patchwork between them. This is a very well-loved quilt, hand pieced and hand quilted with lots and lots of wear. The edges are worn to frayed, with some small splits, with the turkey red binding still attached in only a few places. There are many missing squares throughout but what remains is time worn and absolutely lovely. This is a really great piece for display. The backing is a gorgeous, brown and cream, floral vine print that really makes the whole thing. 

There is a small inscription with a first and last name inked at the corner. 

Softened, threadbare, light weight 

Measures 76 x 80”
