This is an American Antique quilt made circa 1920s-1930s. It is a traditional Sunburst or Dinner Plate quilt pattern. This piece is museum quality for its crisp points, dense and tiny hand quilting, and precise hand piecing. This is a very very rare piece and absolute wearable folk art. The color combination is extremely rare and this quilt is an absolute show-off. We find it fascinating that some of the lavender fabric aged differently and this gives us a window into what the original color of the quilt would have been. There are a few tiny zigzag mends on this quilt but overall it is in excellent condition. This is a showstopper and a collectors piece. The fabric used was expensive, refined and soft cotton from its era. This piece was not made in a humble home. It is very thin, very soft, very light weight, and a dream to wear. It also has a great drape.
