This oak leaf and reel summer coverlet has been in my private collection for over 20 years. Comprised of wonderful early fabrics that have been beautifully appliqued, this quilt top was finished and used as a summer coverlet. One binding edge has a little wear. You will see a vine border on two sides, and the other 2 sides do not have the border. The reason for this is someone figured that a bed in the corner where you did not see two sides did not need all the extra applique work done.
