\"A Bride\'s quilt was, by custom, sewn by a young American woman in anticipation of her marriage. Today, this Bride\'s quilt with its twenty-five unique botanical panels, hand-stitched, hand-appliqued, and embroidered, is the ultimate gift for the home. Inspired by the original quilt in the National Museum of American History c. 1851\"
This Brides Quilt replica from the Smithsonian Collection is a fascinating piece, not just for its design, but for the historical \"quilt war\" it sparked in the early 1990s. They used American-sourced fabrics for the handmade applique and quilt work and the assembly was done overseas, typically involving about 50 or more hours of labor per quilt. The quilt measures 88\" X 90\" and is in excellent condition. It has no holes or frays and no stains. The back is white, the hand stitched binding is solid red, and the batting is white cotton. The detail and beauty of this quilt and its history make this collector\'s quilt stand out. Please expand and view photos as part of the description.
