Seller Notes: “Excellent clean and super crisp condition.”

This is a lovely scrappy 1930's wedding ring quilt.  Lots of great vintage cotton and feedsack pieces used in the rings and then its finished with a scrap border, more 30's fabrics.   Lots of small piecework in all 24 rings.  Each half of the ring has 12 small rectangles, these are some of the tiniest rectangles I have seen in a wedding ring quilt with bases just .1/2" wide, 12 pieces to each part of an arc. totals to 104 pieces per ring, 24 rings and dozens more pieces in the scrap border, some one put a lot of time into the making of this quilt with approx 2500 pieces..

  I think the rings are all hand pieced.  Excellent workmanship throughout. All the rings are joined with lavendar and pale blue blocks and the first inner border is purple, then pale blue then multi pieced scraps.

The quilt has a great finish.  Around the outer scalLops where you would normally just have binding the maker has pieced this area in with lavendar fabric so the quilt is straight edged.  Then the blue that is used in the joining squares is added as a  border 3.5" wide.  Then that is followed by two rows of strip pieced borders, each 1" wide, chock full of vintage cottons and feedsacks.  A very nice and unusUal finish to a traditional quilt.  Borders look hand pieced.  The quilt is then bound with olive green binding that is hand closed to the backside of the quilt.

Its all nicely hand quilted 9 spi. Flower patterns in the white centers, a leaf in each white elliptical piece and twice thru all the rectangles.  Nice and sturdy. It had been stored probably for 75 years and i just gave it a careful hand wash and line dry, its in excellent clean and super crisp condition.

Backed in pale yellow cotton and batted with thin cotton. .  

Do note on the back are the dates 1892  1961.  My GUESS is that would be the dates the maker lived and someone added them in her honor.  I am certain there are NO fabrics from 1892 in this quilt, nor are any of them from the 60's.   It seems much more likely that the seamstress was born in 1892 and worked this quilt in the 30's, definetly 1930 and maybe  40's fabrics..

The quilt measures 70" x 90". extremely Well made and Cute in a more countrified way.
