Object number2012.473.1
NotesConstruction Note: Bedcovering is in three panels sewn together. Upon inspection it appears that, at some point, the three panels were separated and sewn back together, not in their original formation. This is suggested by: wear patterns along the top edge of the quilt, the position of the signature (usually they are center top, this is proper right top), the technique used to join the seams which is much less meticulous than joined seams found within the panels and uses different thread, and the layout of the pattern.
