AUTHENTIC 1920 - 30s DOLL QUILT TURKEY RED & MUSLIN SHOO FLY PATTERN EXCELLENT`
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:180075 |
My original crazy and traditional quilt stockings, along with my other one of a kind creations, are "Handmade with love.....and a touch of lavender.....from my home to yours" since 2000.
Offered is an adora...ble true doll quilt from the 1920-30s in the "Shoo Fly" pattern. This authentic little quilt measures approximately 24 inches by about 18 inches, and is made with solid turkey red fabric and a light weight unbleached muslin. Some of the muslin squares in my photos show up a bit lighter that they are. This is unbleached muslin, so the first picture is probably a truer color of the slightly off-white muslin. Each block measures approximately 5 inches by 5 inches......give or take a smidge. These blocks are separated by 1 inch and 1.5 inch solid red sashing. The entire quilt is meticulously hand pieced using the teeniest of stitches. The narrow 1/4 inch red binding is both hand stitched to the front and to the back....again with the teeniest of stitches.....approximately 11-12 stitches per inch! The backing is of the same light weight unbleached muslin as used on the front. It was finished with diagonal lines of treadle machine stitching. I saw no holes, tears or stains either on the front nor the back. The binding is also free of any issues, and there is no batting.
I purchased this little quilt many years ago from a lady who said her Mother made it for her when she was a very young child. This quilt has been carefully laundered and it will come to you from a smoke free home....ready for immediate use.
Super sweet as its intended original use as a doll quilt, or a darling table mat....lots of display ideas! Also perfect to add to your patriotic decor............Happy 4th of July! I will be glad to combine shipping on multiple items, so before paying, just let me know if you are still bidding.
Please take a moment to check out my other listings for more fine antiques and collectibles, vintage quilts and linens, stockings, ornies, and "sew" much more.
