Such a charming little antique treasure! The diagonal seams create a bowtie effect and you can never go wrong with a flying geese border. **And note, as I mentioned previously, the mix of prints and plaids/checks. Don't forget that when you are making reproduction quilts.
Here's the full quilt -found by Molly at Fourth Corner Quilts. Quilt is circa 1850s
And a closeup of the the blocks and borders.
I am really enjoying these antique quilts -- thanks so much for sharing!! this would be a fun one to re-create!
ReplyDeleteI'm very fond of a flying geese border myself. Thank you for sharing.
