Antique American Allover Geometric 1920s Multicolor Jewel Tones Quilt: a quilt made in the United States, 80 x 96 inches (6'8" x 8'). 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 palette utilizes vibrant contrast, delivering a striking visual impact characteristic of multicolor Jewel Tones pieces from the era. The design features a dynamic, repeating pattern of interlocking circles and squares, creating an impactful allover geometric arrangement. This visual rhythm is achieved through meticulous needlework, where large blocks of contrasting color—deep blue and rich crimson—are carefully appliquéd and stitched onto a soft pink ground.
