I can't find any similar on line. I'm new at this investigative portion of quilting... but having a blast learning all about the various eras!
I'd guess 1920-1930 based on the smoothness, color and pattern size. But I'm not very confident. The quilting and applique is with black embroidery thread. I bought it thinking I'd give it to my mother in law but found a large block in poor condition. Her birthday is Weds so there's no chance to fix it before then. So I'll get her something else and save this for another occasion. It's a Colonial Basket quilt block pattern. It's machine pieced but hand quilted and hand appliqued. Love the puckering! What era is the orange/green geometric fabric from? [ATTACH=CONFIG]182502[/ATTACH] |
I am certainly no expert but I would guess the 1940's
|
I;d guess 1930's
|
It looks like a feedsack from the 30s or 40s.
|
If the orange is from the same time, I would guess the 40's or 50's. My aunt sashed a quilt in the late 50's for me with orange sashing.
|
the orange looks like the background fabric my grandmother used in her sunbonnet sue quilt top. she made it sometime in the 30's and 40's
|
Looks like 30's to me.
|
I'm going with 1940's. :)
|
I vote 30's as well.
|
Without seeing it in person, I would say 1940's due to the geometric design of the print. The solid peach could be 1930s or 40s
There are a couple of interesting construction clues to date your quilt. The applique technique of using a running stitch and the use of the black quilting thread. Nice find. |
