lorious, grand applique is beautifully featured in this classic Four-Block applique quilt, with its unusual flowering motif worked all in green and bluish-green tones complementing the natural choice of a Turkey Red solid. All is handsomely framed with some gorgeously lush hand-quilting on a generous white border frame.

Circa 1870, without provenance.

Size The quilt measures about 81 x 83 inches. The thickest stalks in the XL applique blocks are up to 1-inch wide, the smaller ones more like a scant 3/4-inch wide. The Turkey Red of those two tiny blossom inclusions are about 1 1/4 to to 1 1/2 inches by about 2 inches at their widest.

Quilting The hand-quilting is outstanding, with 8-10 little stitches to the inch, counting on the top side of the quilt only. The overall grid in the center is on a scant 3/4-inch scale while the close diagonals in the border are more like 3/8 to 1/2-inch apart.

Construction Hand-pieced and beautifully hand-appliqued.

Backing, Binding & Batting The backing is a beautiful solid off-white in excellent condition with just minor spots and some subtle discoloration along the fold line.

The narrow, just over 1/4-inch straight-grain binding is hand-applied and in perfect condition.

The batting is very thin and even.

Condition The quilt's condition is excellent: strong, sturdy, supple and clean. I haven't washed it since finding it and it has basically two minor imperfections throughout: scattered faint flecks and subtle tan-toned stains on the off-white background areas that all look rather washed in and areas of cloudy more bluish tone to portions of the overdyed green solid within the applique.
