About the Item
This 1895 folk art crazy quilt out of Kentucky is an absolute work of art. The selection of bright and unique fabrics of that era are combined in random stained glass fashion. Stunningly artistic needlepoint work is used to tell a story of the era and the family. This creative stitchery is also used to put whimsical and eclectic touches to adjoined seams overall, creating an amazing work of art that has lasted throughout the years. Overall, the quilt is in great condition. There are patched that have deteriorated over the years, but the backer fabric is colorful and makes it difficult to identify the worn patches right away. The pictures and video showcase the Kentucky craftsmanship as well as the worn pieces. The date of 1895 was sewn into the artwork. A beautiful addition to a collection or for hanging.

Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A vibrant and visually compelling example of early American textile art, this Crazy Quilt dates to the early 1900s and showcases the rich, expressive tradition of folk craftsmanship. Composed of individually hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in vivid hues—including turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, and red—this quilt is characterized by its abstract, improvisational layout. Decorative herringbone embroidery accentuates the seams, adding texture and sophistication. The quilt is backed with soft flannel cotton, enhancing both comfort and durability. Found in New England and likely made in Pennsylvania, it reflects the ingenuity of early American makers who repurposed textiles into functional yet highly decorative works of art. Originally intended as a decorative throw rather than a bed covering, this quilt is perfect for use as a wall hanging or accent textile in refined interiors.

Early 20th Century American Crazy Quilt in Turquoise, Pink, Yellow, Navy, Green
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking and expressive example of American textile art, this early 20th-century Crazy Quilt features a vivid patchwork of hand-cut and hand-stitched cotton and flannel pieces in turquoise, pink, yellow, navy, red, and more. The irregular, abstract shapes are joined by intricate herringbone embroidery, giving the quilt visual rhythm and textural detail. Set on a soft flannel cotton backing, the quilt balances aesthetic richness with tactile warmth. Discovered in New England and likely crafted in Pennsylvania, this piece embodies the traditional Crazy Quilt form—created not for bedding but as decorative throws that doubled as a form of artistic expression. With its vibrant palette and artisanal construction, it is ideal for display as wall art or as a bold, historic accent in interior decor.
