This quilt is one of the best. It's been in my private collection for over 20 years. This quilt dates from the late 1700's and on one side, the central block is a hand printed Indienne , almost certainly printed at Jouy. Fabulous packed ground Indienne floral. The reverse uses the most remarkable Fichu in the center, hand block printed with the most fabulous design. The sides are printed in a small scale design on each side, SO many patterns from one textile ~ an absolutely fabulous quilt! There is a cotton batting between the layers. This quilt is ideal for any collection or museum ~ ~ ~ ~*~ ( Quilt 1011)
