The fabrics in the original quilt are baffling when it comes to age dating. The monochromatic black & white pattern sports tiny vermicular tracks dotted with geometrical beats in red & black, common in the late 1880’s. Whether these fabrics are reproduction or original is unknown. The reds, checks, and indigos are humble, utilitarian antique cotton, the kind of fabric frequently used in 19th-century quilts.
It boasts the imperfections, staining, and wear for a quilt of this era. The patterns, colors, stitches, and stains enfold treasured memories of days gone by.
With proper care, this heirloom piece will offer many more years of comfort and warmth. Hand wash, gently wring excess moisture, dry flat, and finish in dryer for ten minutes to restore softness.
