Description

View (42) ANTIQUE QUILT BLOCKS Late 19th C. Fabrics Hand-Stitched with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Each block is shown in the first eleven photos. A typical block back is shown in the last photo, so you can see the stitching and pressing of seams. I purchased these quilt blocks some years ago as shown hoping to make a quilt top with them, but never got to it.  They are authentic late 19th century, hand-stitched, quantity (42), approximately 9" square in a pattern called *Crossbars* or *Good Fortune*, according to the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns compiled by Barbara Brackman (1993), Block #1184.  The stitches are approximately 6-8 per inch.  Each block is shown in the first eleven photos.  A typical block back is shown in the last photo, so you can see the stitching and pressing of seams.  These blocks would make an awesome quilt top for your next quilt project. I'm continuing a mammoth de-stash including FABRIC, YARN, NEEDLEWORK MAGAZINES & BOOKS and MORE, so please watch my listings & check back frequently!  I've been collecting for years.   Please do not pay for an item, then ask me to hold shipping while you continue to shop.  I must ship as soon as you pay for an item.  If you want combined shipping, contact me before paying and I'll send a new invoice when you are finished.  Category: Antiques › Sewing (Pre-1930) › Other Antique Sewing.
