An 18th century French quilt fragment Cotton. Fabrics front and back 
 
Front fabric: Indigo blue resist dye/block print of depicing feather like leaves with picotage brances. 
 
Back fabric: two different shades of pink cotton. One has a pinstripe. 
 
I really like the hand sitching in this fragment which is a repeating diamond design done with a natural linen color thread. 
 
Photos are a good representation of actual color and condition. 
 
Measurements
 
1 meter 16 cm from top to bottom 
 
The width is 
 
71 cm and still shows the selvage at both sides. 
 
Condition
 
Very good for age. 
 
Front : I have not seen any apparant holes, stains or discoloration. 
Back: does show small holes here and there throughout and a couple of age spots at one edge. Still good size pieces for in good condition for reuse. 
 
Left in as found condition and not laundered. The batting isn't that thick on this fragment so there are some good possibilites of using the piece for several different project. The quilt has been very well taken care of and has a clean appearance.
