1885 Kentucky Crazy Quilt
About the Item
This 1895 folk art crazy quilt out of Kentucky is an absolute work of art. The selection of bright and unique fabrics of that era are combined in random stained glass fashion. Stunningly artistic needlepoint work is used to tell a story of the era and the family. This creative stitchery is also used to put whimsical and eclectic touches to adjoined seams overall, creating an amazing work of art that has lasted throughout the years. Overall, the quilt is in great condition. There are patched that have deteriorated over the years, but the backer fabric is colorful and makes it difficult to identify the worn patches right away. The pictures and video showcase the Kentucky craftsmanship as well as the worn pieces. The date of 1895 was sewn into the artwork. A beautiful addition to a collection or for hanging.
