A exceptional piece of 1930s American folk art history. This authentic antique handmade quilt features a classic Flying Geese geometric pattern set against a mint green backdrop with rich red and peach accent points.
One of its most captivating features is the period-appropriate fabric substitution in the corner block-a wonderful example of Great Depression-era resourcefulness ("make-do" craftwork) where fabrics were reused and mixed as supplies ran out, or repaired during its long history. This unique detail gives the antique quilt authentic character, charm, and true historical story-telling appeal for collectors.
