EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning bedcover, also known as a "Sawtooth" or "Jagged Square" Quilt, dates back to the late 19th century in the United States. The exact creator of this beautiful piece remains unknown, but it is believed to have originated from the Pennsylvania Dutch or Amish communities. The quilt is made up of intricately pieced and appliqued diamonds, each one featuring a unique floral motif. The quilt is backed with cotton plain weave fabric and edged with the same material, adding to its rustic charm. The quilt's design is a testament to the rich heritage of American folk art and the strong influence of Christianity on early American culture. The use of red and other bold colors adds vibrancy and energy to the piece, making it a standout addition to any bedroom or gallery. The quilt's pattern is a classic example of the diamond motif, which was popular during the 19th century in the United States. The quilting technique used is not explicitly stated, but it is safe to assume that it was meticulously hand-quilted, reflecting the dedication and skill of the unknown artisan. The quilt's age and provenance make it a valuable addition to any collection of heritage art or textiles. Its intricate design and beautiful colors continue to captivate viewers and inspire new generations of quilters and textile enthusiasts.
