This is a vintage, American quilt made circa 1970s -1980s. This is the traditional log cabin. This quilt was entirely hand pieced, meaning, each log is hand sewn to each other. Judging by the back of the quilt we believe the technique used to make this was a bit unorthodox. There is definitely some hand quilting present but it looks like the maker hand quilted around the courthouse steps instead of the more often seen quilting practice of consistently quilting throughout the whole entire piece. The borders are all hand quilted. This quilt is thin, soft and very lightweight. On the front panel under the pocket there is a little bit of green dye that bled onto about 4 inches of the white binding.
