This quilt was made circa 1865 by an unknown creator. The location is unknown, but the style is very much in the vein of the Mid-Atlantic region - this was possibly made in North Carolina. This quilt is an example of folk art which is art produced by artisans in cultural isolation; folk artists usually are self-taught or untrained and use simple forms with bold colors.Collection
