Mariner's Compass
Unidentified Quilt Maker
Circa 1880
64 x 80 inches
Found in Ohio
Excellent Condition
This mid-19th century treasure is skillfully pieced and beautifully hand quilted. Elongated points that retain their "pointy*ness," and curved seams are not for quilt makers who are just starting out.
This fine quilt displays well as it is. I suspect it may have been cut down -- but it is finished well and looks good on a bed or a wall.
