This Crossed Canoes Quilt is circa 1920s and has been entirely hand-quilted. It is not a fancy quilt, but is sturdy and has a homespun, farm decor feel to it. The quilting is in outlines of the patchwork and in diagonals through the solid blocks.
The back is a feedsack muslin that has been turned to the front and machine stitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is lightweight.
The quilt is in excellent antique condition with age-related fading of the fabrics.
The quilt measures 58 inches by 74 inches and comes from a smoke-free and pet-free home. Shown on a queen-size bed.
