Hexagons in Hexagons Quilt
Unknown Quilt Maker
Circa 1890
71 x 85 inches
Origin Unknown
Take a moment to check out how this quilt maker organized her fabrics. Not just in diagonals overall, but also see how she fussy-cut the many of the printed cottons to line up on the diagonal within each of the larger hexagons. See, too, how the negative space (overall) shows up as Six-Point Stars.
In Excellent Condition, with all fabrics intact, and with no fading or stains. S/he used wonderful prints, all of them clear and bright. Adding cheddar as she has was a brilliant stroke. (Cheddar is a dye officially called "chromium yellow")
Thin and lightweight, with simple but skillfully executed hand quilting. This one is out of my personal collection.
