AMISH BUGGY QUILT: Another quilt from southern Indiana that I purchased just last month at an antique store for $5.00. I simply gave this poor orphan a good home. It has a wool top in red and dark brown, a greenish/brown real homespun for the backing, and what feels like a blanket (or maybe another older quilt??) in the center. It's tied with yarn. It's small - 30" x 40". Perfect condition - complete with a few horse hairs. I am guessing the backing is late 1800's or very early 1900's by comparing it to some fabric that is in my stash that is similiar and dated to that time.
