Unknown Origin
Collected in Pennsylvania
Inscribed in Red Hand Embroidery: "Baby"
Circa 1890
31 x 44 inches
Cottons
Sometimes we see quilts offered as "crib" or "doll" quilts that have actually been cut down from larger pieces. Not so here.
The wonderful indigo and white print seen in the alternating Zig Zag is repeated in the separately applied binding fabric.
This is a wonderfully graphic turn-of-the century piece in EXCELLENT CONDITION that can be used -- or hung on a (nursery?) wall. Works well horizontally or vertically.
The distinguishing feature is the sweet, original, hand embroidered inscription in a corner: "Baby"...
What a dear, loving piece of American folk art ~
obviously made BEFORE the (still un-named) infant was born.
