Federal Chain Quilt

Federal Chain Quilt

Unknown Quilt Maker
Circa 1850
82 x 97 inches
Collected in IL

Similar in look to the classic Irish Chain design, Federal Chain has a different construction, including an "uneven" Nine Patch in the intersections.  This creates the visual prominence of the larger squares.

With many pieces of beautiful early printed cottons, this quilt remains in sturdy condition. The ground looks like two different muslins, one lighter than the other.

Lotta, lotta small pieces in the interior, as well as in the surrounding borders. Hand quilted. A sleeve has been added to the back for easy hanging.  Can easily be removed.
