"Valentine" Applique Quilt
Unidentified Quilt Maker
Circa 1860
84 x 84 inches
Origin Unknown
Description: I don't know the official name of this charming red and green applique design, so I'm elevating the hearts elements, and offering this with a seasonal theme: Love and Valentines. Perfect gift for one whom you love, and who loves antique quilts.
The quilt maker took pains to measure and hand sew the vining border just right, and so the vine (with leaves and buds) gracefully turns the corner. S/he did fine, even hand stitching in a dense crosshatch grid of quilting runs right through the appliqués, and creates a subtle background texture.
Notes on condition: Overall strong and sturdy, and with slight thinning in some of the reds. Thin and lightweight quilt.
