Maker, Unknown
c. 1880
77.5″ x 77.5″
Nine repeating blocks with an appliqué tulip motif design. All cottons fabrics in solid colors, including: Turkey Red, Chrome orange, tan (faded out green), which applied to a plain muslin background. While the blocks have an on-point orientation, they are set in straight rows with the blocks turned to face in every direction. There are no sashings or borders on this quilt.
Cotton batting is used for the filler, while the backing is white cotton. The edging is finished with a straight-grain binding in tan (green), which is eased around a rounded corner. Hand quilting in double line leaves and circles, following the pattern.
