Antique Log Cabin Patchwork Quilt

An American folk tradition. This charming antique patchwork quilt features a lively variation of the traditional Log Cabin pattern, assembled from an eclectic mix of printed cottons, plaids, florals and shirtings in red, indigo blue, pink, cream and muted earth tones. The individual pieced blocks create a wonderfully graphic, almost architectural composition when viewed from a distance, while closer inspection reveals an extraordinary assortment of small-scale period fabrics. Hand quilting across the surface adds another layer of texture and emphasizes the quilt’s handmade character. The reverse is equally appealing, combining a delicate blue-dotted cotton with a contrasting striped textile, offering a wonderful glimpse into the resourceful construction associated with early American quilts. Beautiful displayed across a bed, folded over the back of a sofa, or hung as textile art, this is a highly decorative piece of American folk tradition with a particularly warm, collected palette.
