EDITORS COMMENTS
This fragment from a Crazy Quilt Block, dating back to approximately 1884 in the United States, showcases the intricate artistry and creativity of the 19th century American needleworker. The unknown creator meticulously embroidered this piece using a variety of techniques, including satin stitch, herringbone stitch, and split stitches, on a base of wool twill weave. The design features a vibrant floral motif, backed with cotton plain weave, and couched down with silk threads in cross double feather stitches, herringbone knots, and other decorative stitches. The fragment is a testament to the popularity of the Crazy Quilt trend during the late 1800s, which involved piecing together small, irregularly shaped pieces of fabric, often with contrasting colors and patterns, and embellishing them with intricate needlework. The quilted bedcover would have added a touch of elegance and warmth to a bedroom, reflecting the craftsmanship and personal touch of its maker. This fragment, with its rich colors and intricate patterns, is a valuable heritage art piece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is cherished as an important representation of American folk art and the art of needlework during the 19th century.
