Amongthe choicest of old time quilt designs is this pieced STEEPLE CHASE with indigo blue and olive green prints and saw tooth border. This quilt is avisual vintage beauty.

This quilt is a wonderful sewn together work of art.Quilter put a lot of thought into the selections of materials to give thequilt a great visual look.
PROVENANCE :
The provenance is very solid. I bought a collection0f 18 quilts from Susan Greene. Susan Greene just finished her book\"WEARABLE PRINTS\" 1760-1860. THIS IS FROM HER COLLECTION.
With eachitem I purchased came her letterhead with description, condition, age and somecame with info where she purchased it. I purchased the book some time agobefore she had the book published, and when I acquired the quilts, many of theprints are in the book. Susan lives about 45 minutes from my home and haveknown her for many years.
She has travelled the east coast going to all themuseum for photographing their collection for the book as well as doingseminars on textiles as well as showing these quilts in her talks to showpeople attending the seminars on identification of prints and fabrics fromdifferent time period. Mrs. Greene used this quilt in her presentations as wellas fabric example photographs in her book.
I have not listed all the quilts yet on .
A great addition to one\'s collection and a hard to find quilt from this time period that has survived.
