An American handmade quilt, circa 1890 in an old pattern called “turkey tracks”. This originally was
purchased from Laura Fisher quilts and antiques in New York City, a leading quilt expert. Appliquéd in blue and white, the blue in the pattern is slightly faded from age, more of a lovely sky blue. The blue
binding/edge might be a replacement because it's slightly darker then the pattern on the quilt. There are 7-
8 stitches to the inch and all beautifully hand done, nice even stitching. In the white blocks there are hand
stitched flowers and along the border a sort of twining motif. This is a summer weight quilt but still heavy
enough for cool nights with a cotton batting.
