Description
67" x 84" Hand pieced and hand stitched and hand tied American crazy quilt circa the late 1800s. Each piece in the quilt is individually hand cut and hand tied. It has herringbone embroidered seams on a flannel cotton backing. The beautiful quilt was found in the New England region, possibly having been made in Pennsylvania in the late 19th century. The pieces have bright colors including brilliant red stars, gray, blue, and many others which results in a vibrant hand crafted piece of late 19th century art that can be used as a bed cover or wall art.
Crazy quilts: These quilts were made up of randomly sewn, abstract shapes, and were often embroidered with fancy stitches and motifs. The name "crazy" comes from the irregular shapes and sizes of the patches, which gave the quilt a broken pottery appearance. Crazy quilts were typically made with three layers, but were usually bound and tied to a backing instead of quilted. They were often used as decorative throws instead of bed coverings.
