1870's INDIGO & WHITE Antique Quilt ~5000 TINY PIECES!
This GLORIOUS cotton 1870's indigo and white (and a handful of browns and grays) miniature 9-patch quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted, with just under 5000 postage stamp pieces, each measuring between 1/2" and 3/4" per side! The quilt measures 70" X 80" and is in excellent condition, with a couple of small, faint spots and no wear. There is straight line quilting throughout at an even 7-8 stitches to the inch. The back is white, the hand stitched binding is a wonderful indigo fabric, and the batting is thin. You can see cotton seed residue inside when you hold the quilt up to the light.
The TINY PIECES, WONDERFUL INDIGO FABRICS, and SNOWY WHITE BACKGROUND make this nineteenth century COLLECTOR'S QUILT stand out!
