Old Maids Puzzle Quilt
Considerations:
✓ Vintage
✓ Handcrafted
✓ One of a kind
This vintage Old Maids Puzzle Quilt is a hand-stitched string quilt composed of recycled fabrics in a pinwheel, or Spider Web, pattern. Long strips of fabric are sewn diagonally across foundation blocks, creating a rhythmic, radiating effect within a strong grid of dark chocolate brown sashing. The scrap construction brings together large-scale florals, paisleys, ticking stripes, calicoes, ginghams, and dotted prints in dusty rose, chocolate brown, cream, slate blue, and gold. The fabrics appear to date from the late 19th to early 20th century. One of a kind.
