EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Crazy Quilt bedcover, created in the United States around 1885, is a beautiful example of the intricate needlework and textile artistry that flourished during the 19th century. The quilt measures approximately 72 inches by 78 inches and is made of silk and cotton plain weave, with supplementary pile warps forming solid velvet. The bedcover is backed by cotton 21 twill weave and edged with silk 21 twill weave. The quilt is adorned with a vibrant array of floral motifs, each meticulously embroidered with silk and silk chenille yarns using various stitches such as buttonhole, detached chain, feather, herringbone, satin, and straight stitches. The quilt's design showcases an impressive range of color and texture, with each patchwork piece adding to the overall visual appeal. The bedcover's intricate needlework and attention to detail reflect the high level of craftsmanship and artistic skill that went into creating such textile works during this period. The quilt's design and execution are reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized the importance of traditional craftsmanship and the use of natural materials. This Crazy Quilt bedcover is a testament to the rich heritage of American textile art and the enduring appeal of intricate needlework. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
