1860s Oakleaf Appliqué Quilt

We kept this one in the archives for some time. A unique scalloped edged quilt that features beautiful vegetable dyed fabric that was originally green and has since faded due to age. The border features gorgeous decorative quilting. We have never seen a similar piece and this is in remarkable condition for its age and was very thoughtfully pieced together.

Fading due to age of fabric and dye processes used. No tears or holes to note! Some discoloration spots on the front and back.

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.
