From
the 1880's comes this unusual Triple Irish Chain quilt, HAND
PIECED using Turkey Red and bright white cotton fabrics.
Each chain piece measures 1-1/4" square. What makes this quilt so
unusual is the borders - 2 crossed "sticks" with a single 5 petal
flower, and bow ties in between, all HAND APPLIQUED!
The quilt measures 88" x 74", has a thin cotton batting, a hand
applied binding, and a bright white back. HAND QUILTED

no rips, tears, stains or odors, but very light sun fading on one corner
(on lower right hand corner as shown). This quilt has absolutely
no wear - it must have had the sun fading early in its' life and was
stored away in a blanket chest for many years. A GREAT RED
