Here are 3 antique quilts I've been fortunate enough to acquire over the years:
#1 - I was told (by a pretty good quilt person) that this was probably from the late 1890's, & the red was what was called "Turkey Red". Was possibly called "Underground RR" - pattern kinda looks like it was intended to be like a "map"??? Not sure if the 'grey' looking fabric was originally green or grey. Anyway got it at a good price & LIKE it -
#2 Is from the mid 1930's I think & is some kind of Tulip pattern.
#3 Is also from the 1930's - it's an applique rose of some kind.
All 3 are in remarkable GOOD shape for their years.
Hope you enjoy - Have a blessed week end.
