This is an American antique quilt made circa 1960s. It is a traditional Federal Eagle appliqué quilt pattern made from a very popular Paragon quilt kit. The quilt kit was featured in Good Housekeeping and became very popular. This piece is beautifully hand quilted and hand appliqued. The maker used very soft cotton fabric. In our opinion, the quilt is thin, lightweight with medium loft, and has a flattering drape. We love the classy and subtle gold on ivory. This is an absolute classic piece of wearable art. It goes with anything and looks great with everything in your closet. Please note, you can still see some of the original quilt kit guidelines. There is also a very minor zig zag mend that blends seamlessly into the quilt. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
