- Description:
- Quilt. Unidentified maker, Holderness, NH; 1890-1910. Thousand Pyramids design. Each pyramid is individually made by folding a square diagonally, stuffing it with white cotton, stitching the resulting triangle closed, and then whipping all of the triangles together, resulting in a very puffy quilt. The fabrics used are a variety of printed furnishing cottons and dress cottons (and at least two fabrics that have some silk in them) from the turn of the 20th century. A furnishing print of a rose trellis on a brown background is used along the two sides that result in a sawtooth edge (the other two sides are flat).
