Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A vibrant and visually compelling example of early American textile art, this Crazy Quilt dates to the early 1900s and showcases the rich, expressive tradition of folk craftsmanship. Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in vivid hues—including turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, and red—this quilt is characterized by its abstract, improvisational layout. Decorative herringbone embroidery accentuates the seams, adding texture and sophistication. The quilt is backed with soft flannel cotton, enhancing both comfort and durability. Found in New England and likely made in Pennsylvania, it reflects the ingenuity of early American makers who repurposed textiles into functional yet highly decorative works of art. Originally intended as a decorative throw rather than a bed covering, this quilt is perfect for use as a wall hanging or accent textile in refined interiors.
Dimensions: 68” x 86”
Date of Manufacture: 1st Quarter of the 1900s

The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
