Albany Coverlet

Like quilts, many coverlet patterns have popular names, but not all do. This one was found when I was looking for the oldest identified coverlet pattern. This dates to the 1780's, and originated in Albany. I scaled it down from the original, and it's my personal favorite to date. I don't know what the original weaver called it (if he/she did), but I call it the Albany coverlet in honor of its origin.

This one is mitered to fit the 4-poster, but also comes unmitered, with fringe along the sides, instead of at the foot. It's available in many colors, inquire to see what's in stock, or order the color that would work best for you.
