Antique Log Cabin Barn Raising Quilt, circa 1890–1910, 68” x 80”

This is a beautiful antique Log Cabin quilt in the classic Barn Raising layout, entirely foundation-pieced, hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It uses a wonderful array of late 19th-century scrap fabrics all surrounding vibrant Turkey red centers. Specifically, the fabrics are late 19th century cottons, including:
• Turkey red centers
• Indigo and cadet blues
• Double pinks and cinnamon pinks
• Small-scale shirting prints
• Early black-and-white mourning prints
• Plaids and woven stripes
• Plum, brown, and burgundy prints typical of the 1880s–1900
• Delicate light-ground florals
• Early geometrics and dotted prints

Several pieces likely date to the 1870s–1880s, with the quilt most likely assembled circa 1890–1910. The back is a lovely, delicate feather print in shades of tan. The cotton batting is very lightweight.

The quilt is in very good antique condition with several shattered/frayed patches (see photos).

Details:
