Saturday at the Quilt Museum - Red and White, Part 2

We're continuing with our look at red and & white quilts this week.  I'm always amazed at what can be done with two colors!  Most of these today don't have much - if any - information about them.


Basket Crib Quilt
Late 19th Century

A charming little crib quilt made of pieced baskets and floral applique.  Notice the echo quilting.

Red and White ???

There is no information accompanying this quilt.  I don't even know the name of the pattern.  Anyone??  I love it, though!  I'm a sucker for little nine-patches. :-)

New Garden Friendship Quilt
Chester County, Pennsylvania
1840
102 x 102

All of the blocks are signed on this one.  What a treasure!  The flower blocks look to me as if they are a variation of "Peony".

Whig's Defeat
East Tennessee
1855
70 x 97

This one was once red, green and white.  Most of the green has faded to khaki.  Such a lovely pattern.

Sunflower
1800's

This was an eBay listing and I can find no other information about it.  I love the sunflower pattern.  So simply elegant.

We have one more week of red and white quilts.

Join us next time for the conclusion!

Happy Quilting!
