Antiques Quilts and Toppers
Lot 448:
Description
36 x 40 A small hand-quilted wall hanging featuring a traditional schoolhouse pattern, composed of six pieced fabric blocks arranged in a two-by-three grid. The house motifs are rendered in shades of magenta, purple, and red, accented with grey roofs and chimneys. Each house block is set against alternating dark blue and maroon backgrounds. The blocks are separated by light blue sashing, and the entire central panel is framed by a wide light blue-grey border. The piece is finished with a purple binding and a solid navy blue fabric backing. Hand-quilting is visible throughout, executed in a simple running stitch that follows the structural lines of the houses and forms undulating wave patterns in the borders. The construction demonstrates contemporary folk art techniques.
