Antique American Square Coral Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 70 x 78 inches (5'10" x 6'6"). 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 dense, repeating pattern creates a compelling optical illusion, defining its strong visual character in a classic square format. The primary design employs the classic "Tumbling Blocks" motif, a highly effective tessellation that gives the impression of three-dimensional cubes receding into space. This dynamic, non-directional allover pattern showcases meticulous craftsmanship, typical of period textiles designed to maximize visual impact within a confined space.
