Thousand Pyramids Quilt with Lily of the Field Border
Located in Darnestown, MD
Thousand Pyramids quilt with a wonderful border of Lily of the Field ( a pattern not often seen). The triangles are made of a beautiful assortment of mostly printed fabrics from the last quarter of the 19th century. The unusual border pattern as well as the fact that it is done with solid colors make for a strong frame. Condition is excellent. Measurements are 80 inches square.

Orange Peel Quilt
Located in Darnestown, MD
Several features make this quilt quite unusual. Most obvious is the Orange Peel pattern that is not often seen. It is set within concentric frames that are not one hundred percent consistent in terms of colors but they blend well together. Most unusual is the center applique. It is a takeoff of the overall Orange Peel pattern but with the addition of arms that look like a thistle. This appears to be an original design. The initials AES are elaborately embroidered on one of the triangle corners...
