  * Beautiful Antique Applique Quilt*

Ohio Rose variation With Swags

c. 1850

98" x 98"

Every piece is meticulously reverse-applique'd--finely stitched in place with precision--Accuracy in executing reverse applique is key and very difficult to accomplish

Excellent condition with a few small expected age marks only; I find no damage or repairs

9-10 miniscule quilting stitches per inch per side

Extremely dense & prolifically handquilted~ double fish-scales, 1/4" contours, shadowing the swags--shadow quilting

The actual green swags have been quilted in light green thread which adds a nice effect to the off-white reverse 

all  leaves and flowers are inset in the

off-white background~ an incredible feat, stitched by an ace-quilter of the 1800's

The cotton batting is nice and thin and where it belongs--due to the plentiful quilting. 

Cotton seed residue is present

1/4-inch binding, invisibley handstitched in place

backing is the same good quality off-white cotton in two sections

This is a  c.160 year old quilt which definitely speaks for itself.

It's BEAUTIFUL
