This Diamonds and Squares Quilt is circa 1900-1910 has been meticulously hand-quilted in double diagonals with tiny stitches. There are more than 1,000 diamonds and 1,000 squares, many (and perhaps all) of which have been hand-stitched together.
The back is an off-white cotton that has been turned to the front and hand-stitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is very lightweight.
The quilt is in excellent condition with some age-related yellowing of the off-white fabrics.
The quilt measures 64 inches by 76 inches and comes from a smoke-free and pet-free home. Shown on a queen-size bed.
