Antique Quilt Fan Design

Hand quilted; machine pieced

65" x 75"

This antique quilt is a nice looking quilt. The fans are cut from many different cotton fabrics. The backing is a cotton small flower pink print. Backing is made from muslin. The age is unknown. If I had to date it, I would date it older than 1950. Because it was machine pieced, I doubt it was as old as 1930. The fabrics do appear older.

From appearances, this has been a well used quilt. Imagine it on someones bed.

The front has a stain (see picture), as does the backing. It also has a section that needs repair.

There is no history to this quilt, as there is no label. It was purchased several years ago by a local lady that collected quilts. She recently passed away and had many quilts that her husband ask me to sell.

This is an attractive quilt that would be a great addition to a quilt collection.
