A 19th century wool and red flannel Canadian patchwork quilt, hand stitched and made from 19th century dark wool suit cloth and red cotton flannel, produced in the last quarter of the 19th century. Purchased locally in the Niagara region, (Ontario) area from the granddaughter of the quilt's maker, who emigrated to Canada in the 19th century from Europe, this 90" x 76" quilt has panels of men's wool suit cloth, in dark blue, grey, brown and black, pieced with red cotton flannel. It is stitched in a repeating hills stitch (more visible on the back of the quilt in our pictures). Please note that the photo was taken outside on a sunny day, and the colours appear a shade lighter in our photos than the quilt actually is, in real life. It is edged in red cotton flannel and backed with grey cotton flannel. There is a 12 inch long narrow section of suit cloth of the same patterns and vintage along one border of the quilt, done to even up the edge, and it appears to be original to the making of the quilt. This item is in excellent original condition with no fading, stains, holes, losses, damage or repairs other than a 1" separation along the edging on one panel (easily repaired). All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are vintage or antique and may have slight signs of gentle use.
