Detail of 1885 uneven 9 patch in the Starley Collection
The dark print with cheddar was 1st printed in 1881 by Hamilton Printworks so fairly easy to give the quilt an approximate date.
This uneven 9 patch or Puss in the Corner or Sheepsfold always makes me smile! The wonderful zigzag border really makes it sing as does green/pink combo and the cheddar accents
There is something a bit quirky about the quilt--whether it be the colors, or the combo of the block pattern with that border, I don't know. But I do know I like it. : )
