This is an American, antique quilt made circa 1880s-1900. This is the Log Cabin, Courthouse Steps quilt pattern. The Logs (pieces) on this quilt are very very tiny. The maker of this quilt was a pro and her stitches are gorgeous. Each log is hand sewn individually together. For its age, this piece is in excellent condition. We have reinforced with a few patches. Overall, this piece is ready for a second life. This is a museum quality piece and has stood the test of time beautfully. Please note, if you are one of our clients that does not want to see any sign of pre-love this is a not a good jacket for you. Although the fabrics maintain their integrity there is definitely yellowing and age spots throughout this quilt. Please see video for more details or direct message us with any additional questions. This is a summer weight quilt, it does not have any batting, loft, or puffiness. It is thin and light weight with the perfect amount of pre-love in our opinion.
