| Pots of Flowers Applique Quilt: Circa 1920 $735. | |
This extremely bold, somewhat crude Pots of Flowers quilt was found in California but most likely was made in the South. It is a wonderfully folky version of a type of applique quilt usually done in a much finer form. Excellent, unwashed condition. Measures 68" x 80"; circa 1920.

 | Dresden Plate Quilt: Circa 1930 $775. |
Beautifully executed variation of a Dresden Plate Quilt. This maker of this fine example interspersed four pointed pointed tips on each Plate, giving the quilt an interesting twist from the predictable pattern. She also did an her own take on the centers of each block as well as an intricate border. Very nicely quilted; pristine condition. Measures 88" square; circa 1930.

| Fence Rail Log Cabin Quilt: Circa 1930; Pa. $2250. |  |
The small scale blocks of this Fence Rail Log Cabin Quilt are particularly impressive given the huge size of the quilt. It measures 93" x 110", probably the largest 1930's quilt I have seen. Well crafted; pristine, unwashed condition. A variety of printed and solid fabrics are beautifully blended to make the solid pink stand out like streaks of lightning. The pink tone is slightly dustier in color than shows on my monitor.This beautiful quilt would fit amply on a king size bed.

Not finely quilted but the use of tan thread against the dark fabrics adds additional texture to the quilt. Backing is cotton. Nice combination of both regular and irregular blocks.
