Schoolhouse Quilt: Circa 1880; New England

What quilt pattern can be more representative of Americana than little red Schoolhouses? This example is particularly interesting because of the clever resolution of the need to have houses facing both sides of the bed. I don't believe I've seen one before in which the maker alternated the directions of the blocks in the center row. Excellent condition; professionally laundered. Measures 70" x 80". New England origin; circa 1880.
