Lot 442:
Vintage American Hand-Quilted Cotton Scrap Quilt in Mohawk Trail Pattern
Sold for: $75
Description
This is a vintage handmade and hand-quilted scrap quilt featuring the Mohawk Trail pattern, characterized by interlocking fan motifs arranged in circular clusters. The fans are constructed from a wide variety of cotton scrap fabrics, including ginghams, plaids, and small-scale floral prints in a primary palette of blue, red, and brown. The background fabric is a cream-colored cotton with a fine, dark-colored horizontal stripe. The quilt is finished with a narrow dark blue binding. Extensive hand-quilting follows the contours of the fan blades and creates a radiating pattern in the cream background sections. The reverse side consists of a solid cream-colored cotton fabric.
Dimensions: Approximately Full or Queen size.
Condition report:
The quilt shows signs of age and previous use. The front face appears to be in generally good condition with no major tears or losses visible. The reverse side exhibits significant yellowing and age-related staining, particularly along the perimeter and in several concentrated areas across the center. There is a general crinkled texture throughout, consistent with traditional laundering and the shrinkage of cotton batting.
