A beautiful and rare antique American Mennonite quilt, country of origin: America, circa 1860.

Finally, the pieces would be cut and stitched together with precision to make a top. Next a fluffy, warm stuffing would be sandwiched between a backing and the top. This would be hand stitched to accentuate the design and to keep the stuffing from shifting during use. This antique Mennonite quilt...

The red border is quilted with diagonal lines. Measurements are 80 inches square...
