Rising Suns and Hearts Quilt: Circa 1850; New York

This combination of a Rising Suns pattern with quadruple hearts is delicate and finely done. The Suns are made with an extensive variety of beautiful printed fabrics. The hearts are all of the same red fabric with embroidered stems. It is quilted throughout with small squares.
The quilt has been professionally laundered. Very, very close examination shows several small darned areas but they are not readily visible.
Measurements are 74" x 86". New York State origin; circa 1850.
