| Birds in the Air Quilt: Dated 1887; Ohio $1,675 |  |
This Birds in the Air quilt has the smallest triangles I have seen with this pattern. Each triangle measures 3/4" to a side. It is made with a large variety of fabrics in excellent condition.
The large white triangles are beautifully quilted with
feather patterning. The quilt is dated "Feb 9."1887." in tiny brown stitches. That is likely the date the maker was able to put down her needle!
Measurements are 78" x 82"; Ohio origin. |

The quilt has been professionally laundered and is in excellent condition. Measurements are 84" x 92". Made circa 1860. |

| Windmill Blades Log Cabin Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania Sold | |
This Windmill Blades Log Cabin quilt (aka Pineapple Log Cabin) is as crisp and fresh as the day it was made some 135 years ago.
The maker imaginatively added red pinwheels to the centers giving an already dense pattern even more "pop". Six borders work well to contain this pattern that has so much movement.
Measurements are 75" x 78". Berks County, Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880's. |

The quilt is in excellent, unwashed condition. There is faint shadowing, more visible in some light... Click for details |
