Diamond in the Square Quilt Top
Unidentified Quilt Maker
Circa 1860
73 x 73 inches
Origin Unknown; Found in Connecticut
A stunning compendium of gorgeous (very early) cotton printed fabrics, in large enough pieces to be able to envision the whole design.
The maker set the blocks on point and alternated each pieced block with a very cool printed brown plaid to great aesthetic advantage.
This beauty is hand pieced, and in excellent condition. See photos of the back and other details of the fabrics.
