This is an American Antique quilt. We are unable to credibly date this quilt, however we know it was most likely pre-1959 because Alaska and Hawaii were not included on the quilt. This quilt is made using a hand embroidery technique called Red Work. The art of Red Work became popular around 1900-1903. This specific quilt is special because it has the states names and a motif of their state flower. This jacket is a total conversation piece and a great Party Trick. The embroidery and hand quilting on this quilt are exceptional. It is in excellent condition! In our opinion the quilt is very soft, very thin, with a little loft(puffiness), and has excellent drape. It is a Lady Lancaster 10/10. If you have further questions please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
