Tumbling Schoolhouses
Tumbling Schoolhouses, Ohio, c. 1860. I have never seen a Schoolhouse quilt set up this way. The Teddy Roosevelt (26th president, 1901-1909) embroidered face was probably done after the quilt was made as the dates do not match. This quilt would have gone with me to Japan when I curated the Schoolhouse Exhibition if I had had it then. Cotton, good condition, 78" x 63.5".

Starburst
Floral Chintz quilt, appliquéd & pieced, a great example of the period. Features a central star with appliquéd stars surround and wide brown print border. Signed Mary H. Barlow in ink on the back, found in Ohio, c. 1825-1840. Extraordinarily large: at the time it was made, beds often had trundles and were very tall. Excellent condition; 106" x 128."
