notes: label: Description
content: This simply designed quilt is pieced of alternating strips of two roller printed plain-woven cottons. The quilt shows evidence of reworking; two outer strips on one side of the quilt have been crudely joined (complete with their original lining and quilting) to the main body of the quilt. It has a cotton filling. The lining consists of five lengths of plain-woven ivory cotton. Quilted in a chevron pattern, 7 stitches per inch. There is no separate binding, the front and lining turned in and sewn with a running stitch. The light and dark contrasting strips create an interesting quilt from the first half of the 19th century.
