Hex Signs Quilt: Circa 1930; Pennsylvania

Unusual applique quilt with the hex signs that are emblematic of the Pennsylvania Dutch. In addition to virtually every barn having one, they are used liberally in the decorative arts. I have never seen this motif, though, as a quilt pattern. Quilting in white ground repeats the pattern. Fabulous border incorporates the circle around each applique block. Excellent condition; very well quilted. Measures 75" x 86". Pennsylvania origin; circa 1930.
