Vintage 1920-1930s Log Cabin Doll Quilt | Tiny Feedsack Quilt | 16.5" x 16.5"

This is a lovely Log Cabin doll quilt, circa 1920-1930s, filled with beautiful feedsack and scrap fabrics in soft pastels, cheerful florals, and vivid pops of red and blue. This tiny quilt has such lovely folk-art personality with tiny florals, geometric feedsack prints, conversation-style novelty fabrics, and sweet pastel shirtings in aqua, mint green, pink, cream, and soft yellow with vivid red and cobalt centers.

Entirely hand pieced and hand finished, doll quilts like this were often made by very young girls as a "first quilt" at a time when sewing was considered an essential life skill. Like many such "first quilts" this one has a kind of "joyful irregularity" in that the blocks are not the mathematically precise, but seem to vary with the size of the available scrap fabrics. See photos. The quilt is also not quilted and has no batting and it is knife-edge finished.

CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent condition with a minor tan spot, overall age-related fading of the fabrics and one small seam separation.
