1860s Octagon Quilt

This 1860s octagon patterned quilt is perfect for getting cozy on a cooler evening. This quilt features very striking red and brown wool fabrics on the front and an incredibly soft brown calico backing with a maroon cotton fabric edge repair. The braided edging, which is machine stitched, was repaired in a later decade and is younger in age than the rest of the quilt.

Brown calico backing has wear throughout and has caused some of the batting to be exposed in places. A few small holes throughout which is to be expected from a quilt of this age. Most of the wear is on the fold storage lines and does not hinder use of the quilt. Still in good condition and can be used and enjoyed for years to come.

Most importantly: Please do not cut this quilt for a coat or other project my friends. It is too beautiful and in gorgeous condition and a work of art in and of itself. It would be tragic to cut up such a beautiful piece of textile history.
