 Late 1800's/early 1900's Silk chevron quilt |
 Velvet African-American quilt |
 Chicken, hats, and pillow crocheted from plastic bags |
 Three hand sewn miniature footballs |
 Amish child's quilt |
This is a very striking, bold, chevron strips quilt. It has strong colors and a great design. While it certainly can be used, it would look wonderful hung and displayed. The fabrics are silks, satins, and velvets. It was previously described also as using late 19th century silk most often found in cravats and waistcoats; possibly tailoring scraps. The size of the quilt is 56 1/2" by 60 1/2", which contributes to the ease in which it can be shown. The overall condition is excellent; although there are three very small tears in the border, less than 1/4" each. One diagonal black strip is fragile, with some loss at the edges, all of the other fabrics seem strong and sturdy. On the back there is some very faint yellowing and a few tiny pin holes. The age is from the late 1800's or early 1900's. The price is $1500.00. Inventory Code: CRCR. Silk chevron quilt ... Closeup, one corner ... Second corner ... Third corner ... Fourth corner ...

This is an African-American quilt with great graphics. It is made from plain and patterned velvets and fake fur, hand pieced and appliqued onto a muslin backing to give a quilted effect without an extra layer of quilting stitches. There is no batting. The back was made in four large blocks, and unfinished edges show where these come together. This quilt measures 72" by 77" and is in excellent, unused condition. There is one discolored spot on the back that does not show through on the front. This was purchased from an African-American church sale in Savannah, GA in the 1970's. A wonderful look for hanging or on a bed. The price is $1200.00. Inventory Code: TPAK. Velvet African-American quilt ... Closeup ... Closeup 2 ... Closeup 3 ... Closeup 4 ... Closeup 5 ...
