Vintage Pennsylvania German handmade quilt; 90" x 88" with elaborate hand stitchery. This quilt was handmade by my great grandmother and great aunt who lived in Hegins, PA. and was most likely never used. Their linen closet had 36 quilts neatly folded and stacked. Each of the six rope beds also had 2 or 3 quilts on them separated by newspapers. No one slept upstairs since the early 50's. You can see the fancy hand st...itching...to my knowledge they never even had an electric sewing machine.
