296 This quilt is made in the "Delectable Mountains " pattern in mixed fabrics. Very old and faded, the brown (formerly purple) blocks have worn down to warp threads. The colors are delightfully soft and the quilt is a lovely construction of warmth. The original muslin backing & cotton batting are intact.
This quilt was owned by the James McClees family, made in 1850's. Backed with white muslin, measures 6'8" square.

590 This stunning quilt is made entirely of silk fabrics in jewel tones alternating with black. The quilt blocks are a variation of the Pineapple pattern, and the design creates a novel optical illusion when viewed from a distance: the round disks seem to vibrate & rotate! The edge is finished in scallops with a band of bobbin lace peeking from behind. No batting, backed with gold polished cotton.
