Antique 1920s Pine Burr-Kite Cutter Quilt – Hand Quilted Scrappy Patchwork – 64” x 79”

This is a wonderful antique quilt dating to the 1920s and featuring an unusual Kite variation of the traditional Pine Burr pattern. The intricate geometric design combines elongated kite-shaped pieces in pale yellow with scrappy patchwork composed of a wonderful assortment of early 20th-century cotton fabrics.

The striking arrangement is an interlocking pattern of diamonds, pinwheels, and geometric figures. The fabrics include rich indigo blues, blue-and-white plaids, shirting stripes, soft pinks, lavender, black prints, and assorted small-scale calicos. The pale yellow background provides a beautiful contrast to the predominantly blue patchwork.

Of particular note is the exceptionally dense hand quilting throughout. The yellow kite-shaped sections feature elaborate geometric quilting patterns, while the smaller patchwork pieces are closely quilted.

The back is a pale yellow cotton while the binding is a dark peach cotton that has been handstitched to both sides. The cotton batting is unsized and lightweight.

Unfortunately, this quilt has substantial condition issues and is being sold as a cutter quilt. Nevertheless, it retains beautiful sections of original antique patchwork and exceptionally fine hand quilting for a utility quilt.

CONDITION: This antique quilt is being sold as a cutter quilt due to extensive age-related fabric deterioration, including thinning, fraying, holes, and fabric loss in numerous areas. Several of the blue, black, and lighter-colored fabrics show significant wear, with areas of separation and deterioration along some seams and patchwork intersections. The binding also exhibits wear.

Despite these condition issues, the quilt retains substantial areas of intact antique patchwork and beautifully executed hand quilting. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description. The quilt has been soaked, freshly hand washed and line dried, giving it a light, natural, sun-dried cotton scent (not artificially fragranced).
