JEWEL BOX



Unknown Maker
Collected in California
90 x 101 inches

Circa 1950

Cottons


Plenty of Size Here ...

At 90 x 101 inches, this quilt works beautifully on a modern bed. Or if you have the wall space, what a statement!

The skilled quilt maker organized her thousands of small postage stamp pieces into a stunning design known as "Jewel Box."

Or, we suppose your could call it a
"Nonuple" Irish Chain. [ Yes, it is nine diamonds across, and nonuple comes after octuple. :) ]

This quilt maker took no shortcuts ~ her alternate (white) blocks are made of (13) strips, all white, and pieced together. She finished the quilt with a wonderful "Prairie Point" border

The quilt is in crisp, unused condition. Flat and square.


Super graphic, in superb condition, all cottons
and entirely hand quilted.


A beauty!




Price: $750
