I adore the folky, funky birds on this Pennsylvania antique quilt, circa 1870.

Not sure what kind of birds - doves, eagles?? Such a whimsical, delightful charming quilt!
And if you are thinking it is a one of a kind quilt - close, but there is a more formal version in the International Quilt Museum in Nebraska.
Such a fun quilt to explore. I enjoyed finding the inconsistencies that give it its charm. It is delightful, as you said! : )
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun quilt! The quirky birds and crazy bouquets make me happy!
ReplyDeleteBest bird quilt ever! Now that is my kind of applique quilt!
ReplyDeleteWere all the birds green at one stage? It looks so good with both colours.
