This hand stitched, hand pieced quilt is incredibly special for several different reasons, foremost being the rare pattern that was used. It is known mainly as “Snake Trails” because of the patchwork curved lines that simulate a snake’s path, but it is also known as “Rattlesnake” and “Railroad Around Rocky Mountains”. This pattern is incredibly hard to find for sale and yet, it is such a visual treat! Another reason this quilt is special is because of it’s purple background color. For a quilt of this age, purple was an unusual choice. It measures 72 inches x 62 inches and is in great vintage condition with the exception of some wear on the back (see the pictures) and some of the stitching is becoming loose. It has light to medium batting and a white border, and is stitched with white thread. Please be sure to examine the pictures carefully as they are an important part of the description. It has been carefully hand washed with archival soap and air dried. If you have any questions or would like additional pictures, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thanks for stopping by!
