New quilt |
Quilt top bought several years ago |
Second quilt top bought at the same time |
The quilts seem to be constructed from light weight dress fabrics, I`m not sure of the dates but they look 1920`s in style to me. Could anyone else help with dates?
The black material that forms such a bold part of the design is also unusual. Some of it has a satin sheen, some is patterned and on each of the pieces there are stamped marks present on the fabric....
Stamped mark (rather faded) on the quilt |
I had thought that the quilter had used old wartime blackout material, but it does seem very flimsy and I don`t think that it would be very effective at all.
I also have another, smaller quilt which is very similar and I will try to post pictures when I find it.
Are the quilts all made by the same quilter, maybe someone working in the garment industry using up scraps of fabric? Or was there a fashion for this style of quilt at the time?
