Here is one of those wonderful red and green quilts popular in the mid 1800's. And this one is from my own personal collection, trying to down size.:) In addition to the perfect execution of the baskets, which are all hand stitched and pieced. Each basket has been signed. The origin of the quilt is unknown, the names state a few different areas, New River N.J. and New Vienna, Ohio. this should be easy enough to google and find out some of the makers history. A few of the signatures are: Alice M. Jeffrey-New River N.J. M.J. Williams Mrs. Mary Moore Mary C Huff-New Vienna Ohio Mrs. Hanna Huff -New Vienna Ohio My research of the towns in Ohio indicated it had a large population of Quakers during this time and earlier so it may be of Quaker origin. But a more detailed history search would probably tell more about the history of the makers. It measures 67 x 82, Hand quilted at 8-10 spi, a thin summer quilt, it is clean, a few light storage spots, and a few seams need a few stitches. I am not a quilter just a collector and I didn't want to repair them without proper documentation. The Turkey red seems to have held up very well and some of the green fabrics have oxidized but not too bad. I have taken lots of pictures so you can see what a beauty it is. Please read my description carefully. I try to be as accurate as possible so you don't get any surprises. All of my items are vintage so this makes them difficult to describe.
