Antique American Blue Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 48 x 67 inches (4' x 5'7"). 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. The design immediately draws the eye with its folk art sensibility and structured composition. The palette is remarkably fresh and restrained, utilizing a crisp white ground that allows the central motifs to float weightlessly. A soft, pale blue frames the composition, emphasizing the overall tranquility of the design. This charming piece is an ideal accent for a sophisticated interior seeking the calming influence of blue color textiles.
