Lot 140:
Description
68 x 80 An unfinished vintage patchwork quilt top constructed from a diverse assortment of cotton fabrics dating approximately from the 1930s through the 1950s. The top is a scrap-style assembly featuring multiple block patterns including floral-printed squares and pieced radiating motifs resembling a Dresden Plate or star pattern. The fabric selection is characteristic of the American feed sack era, featuring small-scale calico florals, ginghams, polka dots, checks, and novelty prints such as a white fabric with red cherry and plaid circle motifs. The item is an unfinished project consisting of the pieced decorative layer without batting, backing, or binding. Construction involves a combination of hand-piecing and machine stitching with raw, unfinished seam allowances and loose threads visible on the reverse.
