This quilt could possibly be a one-off custom design! No matching pattern has been found so far and various quilters have weighed in to say they have never seen this design before. So if you're looking for something truly unique, you found it!
The quilt has white sashing and various solids and patterns for the blocks. Some of the patterns are quite unique, like the one with a bunch of small white bunny rabbits on a blue background.
It may be considered a "cutter" by some because of it's condition issues, however I think it would be nice to preserve it as-is because of its potential rarity.
It appears to be hand-pieced and is for certain hand-quilted.
Estimated to be from the 1950’s. Found in Central Arkansas
CONDITION
Overall, the bulk of this quilt is in good condition. There are 2 edges that show signficant wear, but the middle of the quilt is in good shape.
When found, the quilt had a few substantial stains on the front. It was stain-treated and soaked, and the stains have lessened greatly. However faint outlines can still be seen, and those are shown in the photos.
It has no odor and feels soft to the touch.
There are 4 areas of staining on the front, along with significant general yellowing along the edges.
Two of the edges have rips to the binding along most of the side.
9 quilt blocks have damage, all blocks are along the edges. A few fabrics are faded.
There are some general spots of staining on the backside and one small hole.
It has been washed, so some of the fabrics have puckered and the batting has shifted in areas.
