Description:
This hand pieced and quilted quilt is circa 1876, the 100th Anniversary of American Independence. It is pieced in such a way that it looks more like a woven blanket than a quilt. The intricate hand piecing and outstanding hand quilting shows just what an expert needle artist the maker was.
