Cactus Basket Quilt
Unknown Quilt Maker
Circa 1890
71 x 80 inches
Origin Unknown; Possibly Pennsylvania
Check out the size and number (!) of the teeny, tiny pieces ~ those little diamonds that make up the contents of the Baskets. See our last photo with an American quarter to get a sense of the scale.
Blocks made on a scale this small have to be quite precisely pieced or they go out of shape. This unusual quilt is well made.
Hand quilted in diagonal lines in nice, even stitches. Lightweight and thin, with strong sturdy printed fabrics. The back is a quiet striped cotton. All fabrics in good shape.
