The colors of this Irish Chain quilt make it a real stand out. Rarely does one find the chocolate colored brown ground. It is a solid fabric combined with calico prints of yellow and a brick red or terra cotta. It is nicely quilted with wreaths in the brown sections. Repeated use of the same fabrics for the triple border contribute to the cohesion of the pattern. It is in excellent, probably unwashed condition. Measurements are 79" square; Maryland origin. Made circa 1880.
