About the Item

Striking and beautiful New England quilt in the drunkards path pattern. Excellent condition with a highly modern design pattern. Found in Maine, this quilt made from blue and red print cotton with cream colored back is in excellent condition. The white spot is an imperfection in the fabric printing, not a discoloration. As was tradition in the last half of the 19th century in American crafts, imperfections were expected, as only God is perfect. This imperfection is even in the form of a heart. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have. This item can be viewed in person at the Berkshire Galleries located in Great Barrington Massachusetts.
