QT207

This is a lovely, vintage quilt, estimated date of 1935.  It’s a “Hole in the Barn Door” pattern using period, depression era prints.  It measures 76″ by 82″ and is shown on a queen bed.  It is all cotton, with a white background on the front and an unbleached muslin back.  The back is turned to the front to form the binding.  It is machine pieced and is hand quilted at 5-7 stitches per inch.  Faint pencil marks show in places.  There is lots of the hand quilting, as seen in the photos.  The quilt blocks are multi colored period prints.   It’s a cheery quilt, perfect to brighten any room and ready to use.

Condition is excellent, as found.  White/white and super clean.  There may be a tiny spot or two, but I didn’t find any.  There is some fading on part of the blue border.  I’ve shown in the close-up photo where the quilting thread has turned blue in some areas.  There is no evidence of bleeding on any of the quilt, though.
