EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning bedcover, also known as a Bride's Quilt, was created by Sarah Catherine McClanahan in the United States in 1868. The intricately designed quilt measures approximately 91 x 91 inches and is made of cotton fabric, showcasing a beautiful array of floral motifs in shades of green and pink. The bedcover is pieced and quilted with cotton, and features an edging of wool oblique twill interlacing. Sarah Catherine McClanahan, born in Virginia in 1838, was known for her exceptional needlework skills. This bedcover, which is now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to her creativity and craftsmanship. The quilt is adorned with a variety of floral motifs, including roses, stars, and geometric patterns. The green and pink colors add a vibrant and playful touch to the piece, making it a standout example of 19th-century American textile art. The bedcover's design is not only visually appealing but also functional, providing warmth and comfort to its intended user. The quilted layers of cotton and wool make it a valuable heritage object, offering a glimpse into the past and the artistic traditions of the time. The bedcover's intricate patterns and beautiful colors make it a treasured piece in any art collection, and a reminder of the rich history of textile art in the United States.
