1890's Wool Patchwork Quilt. Lancaster Co. Pa. find. This old wool quilt measures 64 x 70 inches. It is a true work of art. Made by hand, each 4 inch patch was placed just so, then hand tied and beautifully highlighted with intricate embroidery.
This quilt was not randomly pieced together in a common nine-patch pattern. Within this work of art can be found a lifetime's worth of crossroads and the strength required on that journey.
The lush floral backing and thick inner batting make for a full and weighty quilt and other than a few small nips here any there, the condition is wonderful; especially when you consider it lay undisturbed inside an old trunk in the attic of a Lancaster County farmhouse for who knows how long. Fortunately someone who saw its beauty found this work of art and after showing it off to some friends, brought it to me. You may find a brighter, or bolder, or fancier quilt than this, but you will go a long way before you’ll find a finer quilt than this.

Vintage Hand Sewn Trip Around the World Quilt This beautiful old quilt was purchased from a private home in southern Lancaster county. I was told it came from a local auction some years ago and was said to be a vintage Amish made quilt. I believe the pattern is a variation of the "Trip Around the World" theme. What I do know for certain is that this quilt is in near perfect condition. There are no stains or tears and only a few tiny areas on the backing that have rubbed over some dirt. I have no doubt it could be cleaned and be 100%. The size is 84 inches by 90 inches and the stitching is tight and even, but there is no mistaking the fact that the sewing was done by hand. I have included a number of close up shots to show the pattern and the stitching. If you find you need to see more detail, please let me know. This quilt is of medium weight and is pretty much square and even all around. The colors are bright and crisp with no fading or sun damage. I seldom buy a quilt, although I have always admired the work involved and enjoy looking at the many variations. The moment I saw this quilt I knew I had to buy it. It is one of the best looking, best made pieces I have ever seen. If anyone knows more than I about the pattern, please don't hesitate to correct me. I am far from any kind of expert. Just a true admirer of the skill required to make something as fine as this.
