- Date:

Double Irish Chain patchwork quilt made from a variety of printed cotton squares with plain white/cream cotton centres to the chain design, and a Turkey Red central block. The centre has an embroidered inscription which reads ‘Betsy Jane Cope Hunmanby Age 13’. The quilt is backed with a fabric that is dated to the 1930s and it is presumed that it has been repaired and the backing replaced at a later date, possibly due to the condition.
