Item #19961 $115 Silk Wall Hanging Log Cabin Quilt From the collection of the Shelburne Museum Founder I don't know why we feel we have to "save" early antique quilts, but we do, and it appears that we aren't the only ones! This Log Cabin quilt was purchased from the collection of Electra Havemeyer Webb, the founder of the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, who also must have had the "save" instinct! This 1880's Barn Rising variation is HAND PIECED using 1" wide silk fabrics (VERY Victorian!) with a black silk Prairie Point binding. Measuring 58" x 56" (not counting the binding), it has no batting, a Prairie Point binding, and a floral print on cream silk back. 1880's silk is notorious for splitting, and this example is no exception. Someone was planning on repairing this quilt, and has removed (but pinned) some of the pieces in preparation. If you're looking for a Winter project, this is it! It can be restored, or used "as is" as a wall hanging. |
