 | Postage Stamp Monkey Wrench Quilt: Ca. 1880; Pa. SOLD |
A small area of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is known for their postage stamp star quilts. This is a variation in which the light and dark blocks form a Monkey Wrench pattern. It is made even more unusual by the lattice center. Terrific use of lights and darks using many late 19th century printed fabrics. Excellent, probably unwashed condition. Measures 84" square; circa 1880. Lancaster County, Pennsylvania origin.
