(241.3 x 246.38 cm), Cotton; pieced, appliquéd, and quilted, United States, 19th century, Mary Ellen Jones completed what she called her 'cherry quilt' in 1859, when she was twenty years old. Typically, quilts have three layers: a cloth top; a middle layer of cotton batting, cloth, or even paper; and a cloth backing. This one lacks a middle layer, a design choice that facilitated Joness fine stitching. She packed up to fourteen tiny stitches into one inch of hand quilting. Today, expert hand quilters aim for ten stitches per inch. The original fabric glazing—shiny areas on the cloths surface—is still present, suggesting that the quilt was never washed and that it was made for display, not for use as a blanket.Woman's bag, c. 1960, 15 x 11 3/4 in.
