Interesting the orange-red fabric only has shredded, I bet it was something in the dye of the day for that colour that has caused it to disintegrate. The rest of the quilt seems in really good condition for one so old, all that quilting has preserved it magnificently over time. Thanks for airing it in blog land.Stephanie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779662119039675249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88061311068488295982010-05-25T15:43:47.762-04:002010-05-25T15:43:47.762-04:00I think it was nicer for the maker, who spent so m...I think it was nicer for the maker, who spent so much care, time and skill on this, that it was greatly used and loved. It is good to have mint condition quilts for exhibitions but it means they were probably locked away in a trunk and although later generations can admire the maker's skill, the quilts never kept anyone warm. I think I'd like all my quilts to be out there hugging people.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198119176772158393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87520457930644355262010-05-25T15:36:50.511-04:002010-05-25T15:36:50.511-04:00Beautiful quilt - and wouldn't it be wonderful...Beautiful quilt - and wouldn't it be wonderful if we could know their stories - the people they covered, the things they saw and heard!!!!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br />sao in Midlothian, VA<br />www.shirleyannesheart.comsaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864205467208610424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-56120562877228956452010-05-25T15:06:56.390-04:002010-05-25T15:06:56.390-04:00Fantastic!Fantastic!Nanette Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-78480405188998899892010-05-25T15:01:21.608-04:002010-05-25T15:01:21.608-04:00This is a lovely quilt and block and what a fascin...This is a lovely quilt and block and what a fascinating history. Doesn't it help us to connect with the quilters of the past to hear these stories. I just love that this quilt has been 'used to death'. Thanks for sharing...

It is also in terrible condition. The fabrics were so THIN and I think they got a lot of use... If it's okay with you, I'll post a pic of it today or tomorrow with a link to this article. Thanks for the informaiton, I had NO IDEA!

What an interesting pattern! <br /><br />I agree with you on Delta - I flew with them recently (I usually fly American) and was floored by the seat assignment process!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726159442086808838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16682168476841092242010-05-25T13:39:38.840-04:002010-05-25T13:39:38.840-04:00I've just got some more "state" quil...I've just got some more "state" quilt books and this pattern is in it and its gorgeous.
