I love this quilt! I found it online (click to go to site).

AMERICAN APPLIQUE COXCOMB & ROSE QUILT WITH BIRDS IN FLIGHT and flower vases; ca 1860-80; hand-pieced and quilted in solid red, and beige and printed calico pink cotton fabrics; 70` x 80`.


Sold Date: 10/21/2004

Hmmm... my brain is working... visualizing fabrics... perhaps something more contemporary looking... Wish I could see the quilting better.

Looking for paper and pencil...

  2. that is a really pretty quilt. There sure were some good quilters back in the 1800's that the quilts have survived over the years. Nice that they are still around for us to get inspiration from.
