This signed quilt by Sarah Porter Blazer and dated 1858 reminds me of a Sunflower pattern or a Peony. I wondered about the date of 1858, thinking that may be the year Sarah Porter Blazer was born as I didn't really feel it was made then, but more of a circa 1880's-90's quilt. That could have put her in her 20's or 30's when making the quilt.  The quilt came out of the Kansas City, Kansas area.  This quilt may have originated in Kentucky or Tennessee.  It is in excellent condition and looks unused.

Update,,, I recently was contacted by a quilt research person and she found this through her research: "Sarah Porter, born 1842 in Ohio married Jefferson Blazer in 1858 and in 1880 was listed in the census as living in Kansas. " This gives the date, 1858 some meaning  that this is most likely a wedding quilt. It may have been made by Sarah herself or even possibly a wedding gift made by someone else  presenting it to Sarah.

This fabulous quilt will awake ones visual senses everytime you look at it. It is very drawing and appealing. A very southern quilt. Some of the pattern names this quilt might be called include Richmond Beauty, Trip Around the Mountain and also Georgia Beauty, as suggested by a very lovely customer, Gaye Ingram who has much appreciation for this quilt and its background, as an historian of southern quilts. The fabrics and pattern make this quilt so outstanding. Look at all those wonderful points and diamonds in the pattern. The quilting is all done by hand and the separate binding is also put on by hand . The quilt is hand pieced too. The condition is excellent with a few insignificant pops in the madder fabric in a couple places only and some age related spots, as shown. Unwashed and really unused other for display. Has been in my collection for several years and prior to that another collection.  

 This quilt was recently exhibited at the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky.  It was included in the exhibit, The Pieced Empire- Antique New York Beauty Quilts during the dates of 3-4-2016 to 5-10-2016. A graphic beauty.
