It is a charming example of the quilts made during difficult financial times. Quilting is true recycling and true art. Groups of women often gathered to create quilts together, and the finished result was sometimes given as a gift for a special occasion (like a wedding) or as a symbol of friendship. Quilts can also document a familys history as the pieces sewn together can come from baby blankets, old clothes, etc. Antique quilts are typically categorized by style (broad classification) and pattern (of the individual blocks). Some notable styles include central motif, log cabin, circular, star, patriotic, thematic, representational, whole-cloth, charm, utility, signature, medallion, redwork, appliqué small block, applique 4-block, crazy quilts and many others. This will be a wonderful addition to Americana decor. We have other quilt in our auction this week...please take a look at our other listings.
