<p>[QUOTE="6rivets, post: 6175, member: 24"]"String" crib quilt, original design, 1900-WWI fabrics, "chicken scratch" embroidered embellishment. Doesn't make much difference whether it was hand or machine pieced. The condition is rough. If you can determine whether the embroidery floss is cotton or silk, the quilt's completion date could be better ascertained. (If it's cotton, the quilt-as-quilt can't date any earlier than the mid-1920s.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
