<p>[QUOTE="tyeldom3, post: 248900, member: 43"]Measures approximately 81" x 70". The pattern is Log Cabin, but might be some type of variation with those line patterns in it. Can't find my quilt book right now<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p>This quilt feels as though it has never been washed, but it has areas of deterioration and/or moth damage <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />. It just apparently wasn't stored well. I'm really trying to date this. My guess is 20's, but I wonder if it could be earlier. I'm no good at trying to date fabrics though. I think it is all hand stitched, but need to investigate further. No batting between top & bottom. Many different fabrics used. Help, pretty please! Thanks for your time.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]76626[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76627[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76628[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76629[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76630[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76631[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]76632[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Can't find my quilt book right now:( This quilt feels as though it has never been washed, but it has areas of deterioration and/or moth damage :(. It just apparently wasn't stored well.
