Mid 20th Century African American Southern Quilt in Red, Purple, Green, Orange
About the Item
African American Southern hand stitched quilt from the mid 20th century. This wonderful geometric pattern quilt is very similar in design to the 19th and early 20th century quilts made by African Americans in Gee's Bend, Alabama in the Southern Region of the United States. The Gee’s Bend quilts typically have a geometric straight line design rather than the floral patterns from the New England area of the US and the material used is pieces of the old clothing that have been repurposed. The African American Southern quilts from the 19th and the early 20th century have become very collectable and extremely desirable.
