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.

Condition is excellent. Measurements are 80 inches square.

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...
