content: "Queen's Patch" variation pattern; Summer and Winter coverlet; first half of the 19th century. Lightweight, blue and white coverlet in a small block pattern known as a "Queen's Patch" pattern. The coverlet is made in three lengths that are seamed together with natural, unbleached cotton thread. The warp and weft are made of highly-twisted, mill-spun, natural or unbleached cotton. The pattern is achieved with the addition of a supplementary warp yarn made of indigo-dyed wool yarn. Mr. George H. Kernodle of Washington, D.C. donated the quilt in 1936 with no background information which makes dating and identifying the location of manufacuture difficult.
