Measures 68" x 80": Eastern Shore of Maryland origin.

| | Baskets Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania $975. |
It is difficult to imagine a quilt that screams of its Lancaster County, Pennsylvania origin more than this Baskets example. The calico fabrics are typical of that area as is the pieced Bars backing.

Measures 80" x 84".
