Antique Double Nine Patch Quilt | Dark Pink and White | Circa 1900–1915 | Hand Quilted | 78” x 88”

This beautiful antique Double Nine Patch quilt dates to approximately 1900–1915 and features an intricate geometric design in dark pink and white, with detailed hand quilting.

Small - just one-inch - squares of richly colored dark rose-pink printed cotton form continuous interlocking chains across the background of assorted period shirting fabrics. The white and cream cottons include black printed motifs, miniature red-and-black geometric prints, fine stripes, and tiny dotted designs characteristic of late Victorian and Edwardian textiles.

The hand quilting is impressive, with tiny stitches forming crosshatch and diagonal grids. There is a wide border of coordinating dark pink figured cotton framing all four sides of the central design, followed by a white outer border and narrow pink binding.

The back is plain off-white cotton while the binding is dark pink floral cotton that has been machine stitched to the front and handstitched to the back. The cotton batting is light-to-medium weight.
