 | Applique Quilt: Circa 1870; Lancaster County, Pa. $2200. |
Floral applique quilt that is striking in every way. Probably an original pattern. Solid red and green are strikingly offset by the orange background with a tiny print. Flying Geese grid, forming a star in the center, makes the entire composition even more out of the ordinary. Unwashed condition. Lancaster County, Pennsylvania origin. Measures 82" x 84". White streak in next to last thumbnail photo is a flaw in the printing; it is not damage to the quilt.

| | Cats Crib Quilt: Circa 1930; Pennsylvania $450. |
What could be more appealing than this Cats crib quilt pattern? Does the fact that there are nine of them relate to the traditional notion of cats having nine lives?
