| A "crazy" (or is it "Quazy"?) quilt found in the Midwest. Crazy quilts were made from fragments of miscellaneous fabrics in patterns that may have appeared crazy. In this case there is an especially rich variety of fabrics in use, including silk, which in some cases has deteriorated (see detail photos). Interesting is the fine embroidery seen with the random decorations inside the quilt, joining the partitions and the border around the edges. The back is especially well-finished. Measures 5' X 6', probably mid to late 19th century. RL* | |||||||||||
