Extensive collection of antique hand-sewn patchwork quilt blocks, each measuring roughly 7 by 12 inches. The blocks are constructed from a variety of colorful cotton print fabrics, incorporating patterns such as plaids, florals, polka dots, and geometrics, demonstrating a wide range of fabric styles. Each patchwork block is assembled in a strip-pieced or string-pieced design, and notably, many blocks are foundation-pieced onto vintage newspaper sheets, some with visible advertising and text, adding unique historical character and an archival glimpse into period ephemera.
Most blocks are left unfinished at the edges, ready to be sewn together for use in a quilt project or for collecting. The age of the fabrics and newspapers varies, with signs of previous storage such as minor fraying and discoloration.
This lot represents a substantial resource for quilt makers, textile enthusiasts, or those interested in historic pieced textiles and American craft.
