Antique quilt signed MCD and dated 1901. Fabulous fabrics consisting of old calicos, deep blue indigo fabrics, homespun plaids, and beautiful, old floral chintz fabrics paired with antique double pink; some bright cheddar pieces, and some Victorian mourning paisley prints are mixed in. The back of this quilt is a fabulous whole cloth turkey red paisley chintz mixed with black, yellow, blue and white. Bright, crisp fabrics that appear unwashed and unused. The pieces ar...e hand stitched, and the backing is secured with hand tied wool. The binding is an extension of the quilt back, and it is treadle machine stitched to the sides. This is a light weight quilt or coverlet without a filling. Note the hand stitched patch to the backing of the quilt as pictured in slide 6 just above the name and date tag, and we see a few squares that were not quite large enough that are hand stitched to extend the fabrics. This quilt measures approximately 60 inches by 80 inches. The broken dishes pattern extends across the quilt, and three edges have half squares to form the border. We have pictured it on our high queen sized bed to give you an idea of the size. This is a spectacular quilt. Weight before packing is 3 pounds.
