Tumbling Blocks (aka Baby Blocks) is one of the most three dimensional patterns made. It was popular from the early 19th century until today.
This solid colors of this striking Amish example do a lot to emphasize the depth of the pattern. The quilt was made circa 1930 in La Grange County, Indiana. A typewritten note sewn to the back describes the quilt and has an item number. It also has a sleeve for hanging sewn to the back. All of this indicates that it was likely shown in an exhibition. The quilt measures 80" x 98"; made of cotton. Excellent condition; quilted throughout with diagonal lines.
