Cindy's Antique Quilts

This is one of those quilts that we wonder what was her design pattern. So abstract and unique! There are 3 fabrics used in this quilt, the same pattern only using 3 different colorways. I feel this quilt maker was a " thinking out of the box" quilt maker. Did she/he have only this fabric left and wanted to make a unique design? It came from an estate in Illinois. The condition is excellent and has been washed once. The hand quilting is a nice 7-8 spi. The separate pink binding is stitched on by machine. True textile art. Much better even in person seeing this unusual quilt. 

Offering this attractive wall quilt, a Tumbling Block pattern, and also appears like a 6 point Stars with a Double Border. The condition is excellent and is ready to enjoy. Hand quilted at 8 spi and the separate binding is whipped down by hand. There is lots of hand quilting, as it is quilted by the piece and in the border there is diamond quilting. The color is a soft peachy /melon and blue with white. The backside is a pretty print of small scale flowers. Pennsylvania

This Variable Stars quilt or sometimes called Ohio Stars, is from a local estate,,,Cordell , Oklahoma. Acquired from the Weleda Intemann estate. The quilt is in excellent condition and is all hand quilted at 6 spi. Solid colored fabrics were used in making the quilt and for the binding a red shade of fabric was used. There's a water spot, shown, it appears on a block on the edge. The binding is stitched on by machine.  Oklahoma

This is a fabulous chintz quilt that is in fabulous condition. Looks unused and has never been washed. The glaze is still on the chintz.  Circa 1830's and the size is 100x108, another detail of an early quilt. A wholecloth quilt that is all hand quilted at a nice 7 spi. Signed on the backside corner note attached,, Catherine P Evans. This name could be researched. These quilts of this age don't come along frequently and especially in this condition. For the binding the back was neatly turned to the front and hand stitched down and oh so narrow. Acquired in the NE USA. Originally in a quilt collectors estate, so unsure where she acquired it. Again,,,, this quilt would be considered excellent or even mint in terms of conditon. I see no wear or damage. 

Offering this attractive pieced basket quilt in colors of red, white and blue giving it a patriotic/Americana feel. Displays well. The basket is pieced and the handle is machine appliqued down. The condition is excellent. It is all hand quilted at 8 spi and the quilting pattern is the Baptist fan pattern. For the binding the backing was brought forward to the front and machine stitched down. Clean and ready to enjoy and it doesn't have to be the 4th of July!! Stillwater, Ok. estate.

Offering this Cactus  Basket pattern quilt that is also called "Cake Stand". The quilt is in unused condition and is excellent/mint, having had a light bath and is ready to enjoy. All hand quilted at a nice 7-8 spi and the rose colored binding is also stitched on by hand. The "baskets" are a popular double pink colored fabric and the alternate blocks a nice small checked gingham fabric. The background on the baskets is a small print shirting fabric. The small blocks are only 5 1/2 inches in size. Note the one imperfect block as shown. Sometimes that was done intentionally by the quilt maker.  This was due to the belief that only God was perfect.   Northwest Ohio area.

Offering this early Peony Applique quilt that is in excellent condition. Virtually unused and has had one bath.  This is a pieced and applique quilt. It is hand quilted at 6-7 spi.  The pattern  also might be considered a Carolina Lily. So unusual is in the alternate blocks a stem and leaves appliqued. Wondered if the maker just didn't want a plain block and decided to put in that extra. Heavy quilting done in the Baptist fan style. Set in blocks with a green sashing. The separate green binding is stitched on by hand.  There's an initial E stitched on the backside, but no other information to add, other than it was acquired in Pennslyvania.

This deco looking quilt has an Anne Ore pattern look and design. They have also been called computer quilts, which really fit into today with computer language. I'm not sure what it is definately called, so would love input if anyone knows. The quilt is in excellent condition and is hand quilted around each block. The blocks are approx 1 1/2 inches small. The hand quilting is at 7 spi. It is also hand bound with the back turned towards the front and stitched down. A nice 3 color quilt and is also generous in size. Mn estate. I have another on the web site of this same pattern and could be used as a pair and complement each other well. The other quilt is Rosebud #1. Take a look and thanks for shopping.

Pictorial Childrens Donkey and Cart- Playtime pattern, a Progress kit- circa 1940's, size 48x68. Condition is excellent on this applique youth or crib size quilt. A fun theme with the donkey pulling the cart with the child and mother and along side is the dog, the chicken and the flowers by the roadside.The man appears to be leading the donkey and a young boy riding the donkey. Above is the house with trees and flowers and then the whole design is framed by flowers in the corners. It is finished with a red binding. Lots of detail. In addition to the applique is the use of embroidery. This is a kit quilt, as there are faint dots for the quilting. I am unsure of the company who carried this pattern. ( Recently, 9-2012, had a nice email from lady, this is called Playtime and is a Progress Kit pattern. ) It is beautifully hand quilted and hand appliqued. Quilting is at 8 SPI.
