Amish Bars pattern Quilt, rectangular, pieced in gray synthetic fabric and black cotton. Back is pieced green cotton and is brought forward to create a 1/4" binding, which is secured with hand stitching. Quilting stitches in dark thread, mostly diagonal. No batting is evident.
January 26 & 1916 quilted into two different bars, diagonally opposite each other.
Due to the strong use of black, it indicates an origin outside of Lancaster County, most probably Ohio. Good comparison piece to Lancaster County Bars quilts
Provenance: Brockman purchased quilt from Kate Kopp of American Hurrah c.1994 in NYC.
Significant number of holes and losses, especially near binding. Some fading.
