This auction lot features an authentic vintage hand-quilted patchwork textile quilt showcasing an intricate fan pattern design. The layout displays a dense repeating grid of pieced fan motifs constructed from a striking assortment of mid-century calico prints, vibrant polka dots, ginghams, stripes, and rich floral cotton fabrics. Each individual fan wedge is bordered by solid blue cornerstone accents that connect the blocks together on an off-white cream muslin field, surrounded by a wide solid cream exterior frame. The background sections reveal exceptional hand-quilted needlework detailing, including a beautiful running wave or cable pattern stitched along the outer margins. The reverse side features a clean, solid white cotton backing that brilliantly highlights the textured relief of the hand-stitched layout. This folk-art piece shows a well-preserved historic character with minor natural fabric creasing and superficial storage wear from long-term barn protection, with zero structural compromises or edge fraying. It provides an excellent investment choice for Americana textile collectors, historic dealers, or rustic country lodging and farmhouse staging. Please examine all the provided top, backing, and close-up detail photographs to carefully evaluate the stitch consistency, pattern variegation, and exact cosmetic state.
