Antique American Ivory 1930s Square Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 85 x 95 inches (7'1" x 7'11"). It is pieced from fabric and quilted through to a backing, not knotted or woven like a rug. Quilts like this were made as bed coverings; today they are hung as textile art or used as a throw or bed topper. Because it is a textile, we do not recommend it for use on the floor. Its construction utilizes the "crazy quilt" method, where irregularly shaped patches are meticulously joined by intricate hand-stitching, transforming salvaged fabrics into a cohesive, decorative whole. While categorized by its foundational ivory color, the palette of this piece is a vibrant tapestry of Americana prints. Rich reds, dusty blues, and warm browns intermingle with softer pinks and yellows, creating a dynamic visual rhythm.
