Description |
Lob Cabin blocks of white, pink, brown, and yellow joined in a diagonal set. 120 blocks with solid red or brown centers have various printed fabrics with some solids, predominantly the yellow. Pieces are quilted 1/8" inside each piece. The initials "J. R." and the date "1880" are embroidered on the front in one corner. White backing is pieced from 2 sections. Applied binding is double pink on 2 sides and dark orange on the other 2, and is 3/8" wide.; Log Cabin quilts were wildly popular in the 1880s. The narrow rectangular pieces could be made of fabric scraps or even silk ribbons. By varying the placement of light and dark fabrics, variations in the Log Cabin pattern resulted in pattern names such as Lightning Strike, Sunshine and Shadow, Barn Raising, Pineapple, Straight Furrows, and Courthouse Steps. This Straight Furrows Log Cabin quilt was made by Janet Reed in Monroe County, Indiana in 1880. The material is roller printed cotton fabric, and the pattern consists of 120 blocks with solid red or brown centers. Applied binding is double pink on 2 sides and dark orange on the other sides, and is 3/8” wide. Pieces are quilted 1/8” inside each piece with 7 stitches per inch. |
