Description
This DAZZLING cotton carpenter's square quilt is all hand pieced and hand quilted, with an unusual zigzag border, and the signature "M.J. Hudson" and the date "1871" hand inked in one corner.
It measures a generous 86" X 90" and is in very good condition, with surface dirt and age spotting in place (I haven't tried to clean this one.
The quilting is SUPERB, with straight line, grid, and floral designs quilted throughout at an even 8-10 stitches to the inch.
The back and hand stitched binding are white, and the batting is thin.
The WONDERFUL DESIGN, UNUSUAL BORDER, and DENSE HAND QUILTING all make this SIGNED & DATED 19th century COLLECTOR'S QUILT stand out!
