Straight Furrows Log Cabin pattern quilt; Circa 1890. The variety of black fabrics give this pattern exceptional depth. Mostly wools with some cottons. Pennsylvania Mennonite origin with pieced bars on the back. Colors shown here are more nearly true in close-ups. The black areas are comprised of the same size log cabin strips (not easily illustrated here) as the colored fabrics. 82" x 96"
Solid color blue and white quilt has never been laundered. Has several minor smudges that could probably be removed when washed. Pennsylvania origin; finely pieced. Circa 1900. 81 1/2" x 82"
A pair of Pennsylvania origin Basket with Garlands pattern quilts; Circa 1920. Both have been professionally laundered and are in spotless condition. One shown. Large enough for a pair of either single or double beds. Each 78" x 86"
This pattern is also known as String Stars. Pennsylvania Mennonite; Circa 1890. Predominantly wool with touches of velvet and satin. Wonderful use of Four Patch as a secondary pattern between the stars. Back is pieced with red and blue plaid coton bars. 81" square
Made of fairly heavy wool fabrics; circa 1870. Maryland origin. The plaid triangles against the solid color bars give the illusion of tremendous movement to the geese. 85" x 86 1/2"
