Antique Alamanizer Quilt | Hand-Quilted | 68” x 82” | Early 20th Century Americana

This beautifully preserved Alamanizer Quilt is a classic example of early American patchwork, combining traditional geometry with a warm, visually rich palette of plaids, stripes, and small-scale prints. It dates from the 1890s to 1910.

The quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted, featuring alternating blocks of diamonds set within squares, framed by plaid sashing. The fabrics include early cotton plaids, checks, shirtings, and printed motifs typical of late 19th to early 20th century quiltmaking. The hand-quilting is in a grid of diagonals.

The backing is a soft blue cotton where the evenly spaced diagonal hand-quilting stitches can best be seen. The back has been turned to the front and machine stitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is lightweight.

The quilt is in excellent antique condition with one square patch several small tan dots/discolorations. See photos.
