American Hand-Pieced & Quilted Patchwork Quilt - 68 x 80 This vintage American utilitarian quilt is hand-pieced and hand-quilted in a scrap-style design organized into multiple vertical columns of varying widths. The composition utilizes a variety of horizontal fabric strips and geometric blocks, including a recurring nine-patch variation featuring a yellow floral center. Materials include printed cottons with patterns of polka dots, florals, plaids, and stripes, as well as solid-colored fragments of silk, rayon, or synthetic blends in shades of purple, green, and blue. The quilt is constructed with visible hand-sewn running stitches throughout the body. The backing consists of several panels of coarse-woven, off-white cotton or linen fabric.
