Nice hand tied patchwork quilt . What I think I see is surged edges on the squares if that is case then I am inclined to think they used sample material that would be on display at a store so you could order more but store did not have it in stock ? I have never seen and antique quilt surged before so as a past quilter myself I made many I never had a surger . People would use any scraps to make a warm blanket and by chance they store was getting rid of outdated samples I could see someone sewing them together into a quilt to stay warm . Can you look at edges and tell me if the are surged ?
HI THANK YOU FOR REPLYING.
I THINK THE SQUARE ARE SURGED.REALLY NEAT. THE EDGES ARE FRAYED SOME AND ONLY A STRAIGHT STICH SEWED ABOVE THE FRAYING IT IS OLD IMM SURE
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE A SPOT OF PAINT OFF A QUILT .ITS A BEAUTIFUL QUILT I BOUGHT AT A SALE. I BELIEVE ITS LATEX PAINT. THANKS
My Mother in Law makes them all the time I have one on my bed right now. My husband worked for a Furniture Store he would give her the old or deleted samples for the store
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION THIS HAS ALOT AGE SO I BELIEVE ITS OLD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR IMPUT
Well the fabrics could be old but if the blocks are surged together the quilt is not old . They did not have surgers years ago for home use . I am a quilter and have my own large quilting machine . I did have a shop here in my home for a while and I did machine quilting for other people . From what I can see the quilt pictured above is not old .
Nancy is right. Anything surged is not that old. I have seen a lot of these quilts made from old clothes, suits, etc, just for the warmth. I own a few of them, they are not so old, just look like they are because of the primitive way they are made, the old wools and polyesters. A quick way to make a warm quilt for hunting, camping, home, etc. Mostly they have flannel backs. Nice, though.
WELL I DONT KNOW IF IT ISN'T SERGED FOR SURE I KNOW ITS AM UNUSAL STICH I KNOW WHAT SERGE LOOKS LIKE CAUSE MY SISTER SEWS ALOT AND HAD A SERGE MACHINE IM GOING BY THE FRAID AND USE OF IT. SOMEONE GOT THE USE FROM IT.I KNOW THEY DIDNT HAVE SERGE MACHINES WAY BACK THANKS
