Antique Hand Quilting Blogathon Day 16 - Antique Log Cabin Quilt

More antique hand quilting on this circa 1890 Log Cabin quilt from Pennsylvania. Simple quilting in dark thread. I really like the X (marks the spot) in the block centers.

The quilting is basic in the ditch/along the seam BUT on both sides of the seam!! And look at the delightful novelty print of a critter in a rakish hat. Is it a fox, ferret, badger??

The full quilt - Log Cabin Barn Raising setting. Backing is pieced of alternating stripes of solid red and green, a strippy or bars backing.
