I stumbled across this scene will on a drive in the country yesterday. I'd have to say the ultimate redneck must live here!

Now that is funny! Looks like something someone would do up in my area in Novembers.

That's a beautiful quilt from the ties.... They used to make these with velvet curtain fabric, dress fabric, etc. The stitching that holds them together is the highlight of the quilt for the most part. Each stitched together with a different stitch using embroidery thread.
Satin, silk, velvet, tapestry, anything heavy and elegant. They were made mostly by the Victorian elite ladies in the parlor (thus the expensive fabric used). Quilts of this caliber currently will sell for upwards of $500.00 for a lap size. They are called crazy quilts because usually no 2 pieces are the same size or shape and go together in no particular order. There were of course all done by hand, no machine work involved.
This may be a copy/replica, but it is still a very nice quilt and obviously has had some time put into it. Just a little Redneck quilting info. Kudos to the peeps that made this one.

Don't know about a copy, maybe. Was made by my great grandmother, a hillbilly who taught in a one-room school house 67 years. She could carry patches to school with her...you can see that it was put together in squares. Many of the silk patches have deteriorated so I tried to photograph the good patches. My daughter preserved it for me in a painting of it draped over the same grandmother's old rocking chair.

If it was made in the mid 1700's to early 1800's, you have a real treasure on your hands! Cherish and appreciate the heritage. You are very fortunate to have such a piece of that caliber. If so, consider contacting a quilt restoration society and ask them the best way to preserve it for future generations. Perhaps even consider donating it to a museum. The stitching on this quilt looks exquisite.

This is a beautiful quilt made with love and talent. I'm an avid quilter, and by no means a "red neck". Although, if I were, I'd wear it like a badge of honor.
