Heritage: This quilt was found in Tennessee.  This is such a unique quilt! From the MAROON cotton blocks to the feed sack back with the unbelievable navy trim, the piece is just one of a kind. The blocks are made of a fantastic combination of shirting fabrics, feed sacks, and calicos and the bold blocking contrasts the pastels just beautifully. This is a thinner four season quilt and is ready to make your bed beautiful! There are virtually no issues with the quilt at all.  It is a beautiful yet sturdy quilt: unique and a work of art. 
Condition: Overall the piece is in excellent condition.  It is so very soft and the colors vibrant and sure.  There are a few stray dark spots here and there but nothing overly noticeable.  There are some signs of wear characteristic with the textile's age, but overall a truly lovely and exquisite piece.
