Description |
This pieced cotton album quilt ("Who's Who in Kentucky") is a variation of the "barn raising" pattern but is not a log cabin pattern. The dark areas are colored cotton and cotton blend prints. The light areas are light cream cotton as is the backing. The pattern is formed by triangles pieced into basic eight piece blocks, but there is an overall pattern which is increasing larger diamonds.. The pieced border is made from alternating printed and solid cream colored rectangles with mitered corners. The binding is a 3/8" wide blue floral cotton print. There are signatures in the light areas and a dedication label on the back. There is an embroidered border around the dedication label in the back. The quilt has simple utility hand quilting. There is a "V" quilting pattern along the border and a serpentine pattern across body. |
