$800

A perfect miniature quilt in red and white! This is a rather unique design in what Betsey believes is a variation of the Square and Cross pattern. Done entirely in red with white check and solid white cottons this diminutive piece also has wonderful quilting. Hand stitched lemon peels are in each of the “square” blocks, with diagonal cross hatch stitching filling the “cross” blocks. A red and white striped cotton is used for the ¼ inch applied binding and the backing is the same white as used on the front.

There is just something about a red and white quilt that is arresting to the eye and a treasure to find. With blocks measuring just 3 ½ inches in size this perfect scaled down version of the classic red and white quilt truly is a treasure. Perfect to use as art on your wall or for that sought after decorative accent for a special table or sofa. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. Ask her for more details.
