This is an original, imaginative pieced center medallion quilt. The maker combined light and dark to create a wonderfully three dimensional composition. Two borders hug the center frame using a nice variety of printed fabrics. Details were tended to with Hourglass blocks (aka Bowtie) next to the indigo corners. This is quite a sophisticated country quilt. It is in excellent condition. The back is a plain cotton muslin. Measurements are 64" x 66", a great size to hang. Pennsylvania origin; made 1880's.
