Antique American Allover Floral Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 76 x 94 inches (6'4" x 7'10"). 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 structure suggests a commemorative piece, likely a community project from the mid-20th century. The design features an allover pattern composed of nine distinct, large medallions set within a striking blue frame. Each central ivory square contains delicate, hand-stitched floral outlines, which are then filled with numerous embroidered names, transforming the textile into a historical document of community engagement and shared heritage.
