Antique Shoo Fly Quilt

This antique quilt might be called an Shoo Fly Quilt - or it is a variation on the Shoo Fly block. Made with early American indigo blues and a white base, this quilt is in pretty good condition but could use a bit of care. Fraying edges on the binding throughout. There is a stain and a faded corner - which could be repaired by adding a small patch of blue and white polka dot fabric. Almost non-existent binding (maybe there is something inside?!) gives this quilt a very soft and sweet feeling. Lots of beautiful fabrics in this one!

Provenance: This quilt has come to us through a private collection - there are at least another 100 wonderful old quilts to come! Merci Judy!

Measurements: 71" x 80"

Circa Late 1800's
