SAMPLER QUILT IS VERY RICH IN ITS VARIETY....FROM ITS SAWTOOTH BORDERS AND BORDER WITH VINES, WITH FLOWERS AND CHERRIES, TO THE NINE BEAUTIFUL APPLIQUED BLOCKS...FROM BASKETS OF TULIPS, STARS, FLOWERS, MARINER'S COMPASS....IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TEXTILE.  THERE IS WEAR TO SOME OF THE RED FABRICS BUT THE QUILT IS SO ORIGINAL THAT IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO DO ANY REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WORK ON THIS TEXTILE.  WE ARE AMAZED BY THE BEAUTIFUL WORK THAT AMERICA'S QUILT MAKERS DID IN THE 1840'S.  IT IS FRESH AND CREATIVE, BEAUTIFUL AND EXCITING, AND THIS PIECE HAS REDS, GREENS, YELLOWS AND PINKS AGAINST A SOFT, WHITE GROUND. IT MEASURES 80 X 74" AND IS THOROUGHLY QUILTED WITH ABOUT 8 SPI.  THE CONDITION IS FAR FROM PRISTINE WITH SOME WEAR TO THE RED FABRIC BEING THE WORST OF IT.  HOWEVER, WE HAVE  PROBLEM RECOMMENDING THIS QUILT TO THOSE WHO LOVE THE EARLY TEXTILES.
