               Bear Paw Uncertain age. The calicoes on top are 1900 patterns. The floral back is about 1920s. eBay pur-
               chase from Pennsylvania vendor GB-Best (Donna Vitale.) 71"x83" Fabric: Cotton calicoes. Batting: Cotton.
               Backing: Cotton floral, cherry branches and blossoms on white. Edge: Tape applied 3 /8" to each side and
               both sides stitched at once by machine. Tricky! Piecing: By machine. Quilting: By hand, outlining the motifs
               and in triangles in the sashes, 5 stitches to the inch. Condition: Excellent. Crisp. Feels new and unused.
               Comment: If the floral on the back weren’t conspicuously a period print, I would think this quilt to be a
               reproduction of an old pattern.
