notes: label: Description
content: Nine-inch square “Nine-patch” blocks are set diagonally with a 5-inch sashing. The roller print cotton with a floral motif on a dark brown ground used for the sashing contrasts with the floral, geometric, stripe, and check motifs of the cottons used for the blocks. The lining consists of plain-woven orange cotton. The filling is cotton and it is quilted 6 stitches per inch. No separate binding, the front is turned to the lining and whip stitched. The quilt is an example of late 19th century quilting and fabrics.
