Additional Views

Large size Variable Stars Crib Quilt with a wonderful Wild Goose Chase grid and border. Red ruffled edge provides an unusual additional frame. Written in ink on the back it says "Mildreds Christmas, from Great Grandmother Cornell. 1893." A separately sewn tag has the numbers 68.83 leading me to believe it is an accession number from a museum. Probably New England origin. Measures 47 1/2" x 58" including ruffle. Reds are a little softer in color than show on my monitor.

$595.
