Ringing in my 3rd year of participating in Cheryl Sleboda's 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge with this Liberty Bell. 1876 Centennial fabric (1776-1876) in a 1880 Log Cabin summer spread. Sandra Starley Quilt Collection.
The fabric is a pre-printed patchwork, also known as faux patchwork or cheater cloth.
Here's more of it - see the shield
And there is more below: 2 strips with paisley print. There were a lot of faux patchwork fabrics printed in the 1880s.
I love seeing the close-ups of the fabrics in your antique quilts.
