70 x 84 This late 19th to early 20th-century American folk textile is a two-color hand-pieced and hand-quilted cotton quilt. The item features a repeating basket pattern, a variation often referred to as a Cake Basket or Fruit Basket, oriented on point. The quilt is constructed from solid red cotton fabric and a white cotton fabric printed with a black pin-dot motif. Each basket unit is composed of a large red triangle for the base with a handle created from multiple small red and white half-square triangles. The quilt is finished with a wide, solid red cotton border. The reverse side consists of a solid cream-colored cotton backing. Technical examination confirms hand-pieced construction and hand-quilting in an off-white thread. The quilting follows the seam lines of the blocks, with additional decorative four-petal floral motifs hand-quilted into the center of each solid red basket base.
