Saturday at the Quilt Museum - Baskets, Part 2

More basket quilts!

Pieced and Appliqued Baskets
1850 - 1860

Isn't this unusual?  I don't think I've ever seen a basket quilt done in orange!

This is where I found it:

Blue and White Baskets
1880
92 x 76

This one is just wonderful.  The fabrics used are some I wish I could find in reproductions today.  The quilting is amazing done on a 5/8 x 5/8 grid!

There are more pictures here and are very worth seeing:

Red Baskets and Bird
1850-1875
Possibly New York or Pennsylvania
75 x 86

I've never seen a basket quilt like this.  The alternate blocks make it look like a woven coverlet to me.  And the solitary bird just off center - I wonder if there's a story there?

Folk Art Flowers and Baskets
Pennsylvania
1850
74 x 82

Isn't this one interesting?  The information says it's from 1850.

Red Baskets with Appliqué Border
Late 1800's
84 x 96

This one struck me because of the appliqué border.  You'll notice that the vine is not consistent in color all the way around.  Fading?  In any case, it's cheerful!
