 | Hawaiian Applique Quilt: Circa 1930 SOLD |
Stunningly quilted Hawaiian applique. Echo quilting throughout. I see too few Hawaiian quilts to be familiar with the iconography of the appliqued motifs. This most resembles the Crown of Ka'iulani illustrated in Robert Shaw's "Hawaiian Quilt Masterpieces". Excellent condition; professionally laundered. Circa 1930; measures 76" square.

Stunning Mariner's Compass quilt with an equally dramatic border. Well quilted; professionally laundered. Excellent condition. Illustrated in "American Folk Art in Ohio Collections". Circa 1870; measures 75" x 84". One of the finest examples of a very desirable and difficult to execute pattern.

Original pattern floral applique quilt that is simultaneously bold and delicate. The maker took many liberties with nature as the leaves look like oak but the flowers certainly are not. Exceptional quilting. Pristine condition; professionally laundered. Measures 94" x 96". Pennsylvania origin; circa 1860.
