American Indigo Discharge Nine-Patch Quilt Top - 42 x 74 An antique American patchwork quilt top composed of various indigo-dyed discharge print cotton fabrics and woven checks. The construction utilizes a Nine-Patch block pattern alternating between black and white gingham checks and light-colored shirting fabrics featuring small printed motifs such as polka dots, clover patterns, and floral sprigs. These blocks are joined by vertical rectangular panels of indigo-dyed cotton with varied patterns, including a diamond grid with dotted lines, small floral sprigs, and concentric circle-and-dot motifs. A wider horizontal panel of indigo fabric with a vertical geometric dashed-line pattern serves as a border along the lower edge. The reverse side shows the raw seam allowances, confirming the item is an unquilted top lacking batting and backing.
