Baskets Charm Quilt: Circa 1880; Pennsylvania

Very striking Baskets quilt made more unusual by the fact that it is also a Charm Quilt, that is, each Basket is made from a different fabric. None are repeated. I have never seen a Charm quilt done in this pattern. Beautiful grouping of fabrics; red diagonal grid is very effective in pulling them all together. Crisp, unwashed condition. Has a small light spot visible in third from last thumbnail photo. Measures 91" square, rather large for the time period. Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880.
