Illinois Amish Roman Stripe Quilt: Circa 1880's

Regular price$3,600.00
/

This Illinois Amish Roman Stripe quilt is dramatic because of the colors; small scale of the blocks and having them set on a diagonal. The consistent use of the same red fabric for each of the longest strips heightens the diagonal stripe. Upon close inspection, one can see that the opposing black borders are pieced with the same diamond shapes as the body of the quilt. It is made of wool with a machine done pre-quilted backing.
The quilt was made by Kate Fugate (nee Sunning). She stated that she made the quilt for her father-in -law Charlie Kost because as a boy, he hauled her coal and helped her with chores.
The quilt is accompanied by the 1988 invoice from America Hurrah who sold it for $4800.
Measurements are 68" x 80". Macome, Illinois origin; circa 1880's.
