Late 18th century simple frame quilt, made from early printed furnishing cottons on both dark and light grounds. The frames are constructed from large pieces, and the centre pieces feature block printed designes of a bird and nest in rows which is unusual. The quilt is hand quilted all over with an early simple design.
