Rare Amish Humility Days of the Week Quilt

Please note: Light areas seen are sunshine and shadows on photos which create the white areas and are not on the actual quilt.
For the collector of unique and rare quilts, I offer this wonderful Amish made quilt from the early 1900s era to perhaps the 1940s. Back in the day, many linens were stitched with days of the week chores featured. Research shows that traditionally, certain "women's chores" were assigned a day of the week. Another unique feature found in handwork done by the Amish was to have an area done purposefully incorrect to designate humility as only God is perfect. So for this particular quilt, there is a combination of the 2 unique applications. The first one is the Days of the Week theme and the second is found in the missing "Day of the week" chore done on Wednesday!! Little bears are showing the chores along with the designated day of the week and the maker has included other endearing blocks. You will find cupids, children, flowers, animals and lots of bears...all are outlined stitched in turkey red stitching. Each white quilt block design is then quilted and surrounded by pink fabric. The quilting includes cross hatch method and are hand stitched. Please forgive the few old marks as this quilt may be over 100 years old and has been in storage for many years. A very wonderful addition to a collection of unique and cherished quilts!
