This stunning log cabin quilt, hailing from Illinois in the late 1880s, showcases the intricate and beautiful craftsmanship of an unknown artist from the 19th century United States. The quilt, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich heritage of American textile arts. The log cabin quilt design, a classic and iconic motif, features a series of geometric squares, each resembling a log cabin, arranged in a circular pattern. The quilt is made of plain weave self-patterned by ground weft floats and plain weave with supplementary patterning wefts, creating a visually captivating interplay of color and texture. The bedcover is edged and backed with cotton satin weave, adding a luxurious touch to the piece.
