Mariner's Compass Quilt: Circa 1870; Pennsylvania

Extraordinarily crisp, un-used Mariner's Compass Quilt. Done with a typically southeastern Pennsylvania combination of calico fabrics. Pink figures in each block are rounded off to give the center an interesting shape. Sashing quilted with circle patterns. Light batting; circa 1880. Chester County, Pennsylvania origin; circa 1880. Measures 80" square. Pink is a deeper tone than shows on my monitor.
