Antique Scherenschnitte Quilt: Hand-Quilted; 1910-1920s (62x88")

This Scherenschnitte Quilt, circa 1910-1920s, has an unusual design, even for a Scherenschnitte. The applique work has all been hand-stitched in very tiny stitches, while the quilting is in outlines of the applique as well as in concentric triangles spaced very close together.

The back is white cotton, while the binding is a pink cotton that has been machine stitched to the back and hand-stitched to the front. The cotton batting is very lightweight.

The quilt is in excellent antique condition with one small (half-inch) old repair to the front, some age-related fading of the fabrics and two small seam separations (see photos).

The quilt is approximately 62 inches by 88 inches and comes from a smoke-free and pet-free home. Pictured on a queen-size bed.
