This antique Clamshell flour sack quilt dates from the 1930s. It is hand stitched and pieced with colorful cotton print dress fabrics and feed flour sack. This multi-pieced block pattern is called the "Clamshell" and resembles rows of clam shells or fish scales. This Clamshell quilt pattern is considered one of a high level of difficulty due to the complexity of piecing the connecting convex and concave edges. The quilt has been beautifully hand made and has a white quilted backing. It measures 80 by 93 inches and is in excellent clean useable condition with only one small piece of fabric with a bleach spot. This is truly a beautiful piece of antique textile folk art.
