Log Cabin Quilt, c1890

Hand stitched by foundation piecing in a black thread and then hand tacked (possibly at a later date). This quilt consists of a mixture of velvets, wools, silks ans wovens. There is a small amount of victorian style hand stitching on a few of the blocks at the center “hearth”. There backing is a grey and natural cotton flannel stripe. It is hand tacked with green wool yarn. Ties to the back. The binding is folded to the front from the back and machine stitched.

There is extensive moth damage to the quilt and fabric rot due to the materials used. Some of the silk blocks have shredded. This has been in the deep freeze and then steam cleaned from the back. Display quilt, photographs well, hangs well, good drape. 

Medium to heavy weight
