Churn Dash Quilt Appraisal

Modern Patriotic Churn Dash Patchwork Quilt

This is a contemporary handmade patchwork quilt featuring a variation of the classic 'Churn Dash' block pattern. The quilt is constructed primarily from cotton fabrics in a bold patriotic color palette of red, white, and various shades of blue. Each block consists of a central square framed by geometric 'arrow' shapes, set within larger sashing. The secondary fabrics include a range of prints, such as tonal celestial motifs in blue and high-contrast black and white scrolls. The quilt is finished with a solid navy blue backing and white sashing with accented corner cornerstones. A notable feature is the white authentication or artisan label sewn into the upper left corner of the blue backing, which indicates it is a custom contemporary piece rather than an antique. The craftsmanship appears precise with straight seams and well-aligned points, suggesting machine-pieced construction during the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible fraying, fading, or staining, maintaining sharp color saturation across all the textile panels.
