There is slight fraying on the binding but no other condition apologies. The quilt measures 29" x 39".

This Ohio Amish One Patch Quilt was made for a daybed but in Amish terms, is referred to as a hired man's quilt. It measures 35" x 68 1/2". This unusual size could be a wonderful wall hanging used vertically in a stairwell or horizontally over a bed or mantel. A star is quilted in each of the one patch blocks and cable quilted in the border. The colors have mellowed; there is slight unevenness in color but not enough to be a detraction. Circa 1920.

"Welcome Little Stranger
Welcome to Our Home
Welcome to our Hands and Heart

May Your Life be Happy as the Little Bee
When she sips the Honey from the Blossomed Tree
And as on your Journey, Growing Day by Day
May you have Heavenly Blessings all along your Way"
