Mennonite Quilt

c 1890 Berks County, PA; Eleven hand pieced bars: yellow calico print in center, then double pink calico bars, brown and white floral stripe; double pink calicos, yellow calico and green calico print bars on sides; 5" red calico border; pieced in tiny hand stitches, 5-6 stitches per inch quilting; concentric zig-zags over body of quilt; excellent, crisp, never used; collector quality. This traditional Mennonite design, graphic and striking in its simplicity, calls to mind the straight furrows of a fallow field.
