This vintage Amish-style quilt was probably made in the 1970's and was bought in the Wisconsin area. It measures 86 inches by 98 inches--plenty large enough for a full bed or to the floor on a twin bed. The top is 100% cotton, the backing is 100% unbleached muslin. The two colors have nice contrast and make a vivid quilt--a clear blue and a light brown/beige tone.
The batting is probably polyester and is a loft and a mid-weight. The quilting all done by hand measures 7 stitches per inch measured on only one side. Each piece has outline quilting. Other motifs include hearts, leaves and a rope in the border which nicely frames the quilt. The binding is brown, measures approximately 3/4 inch wide and has been whipstitched closed by hand.
This quilt is clean, no fading, no rips, no tears, no missing stitches. It is very affordable and would make a great gift--maybe even for yourself!! The reserve is under $100. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions. Happy bidding.
