A beautifully executed combination of the early New England Garden Maze
pattern and the New York Beauty pattern. The inside blocks measure 10”
square with all applique work pieced onto linen fabric. Joining blocks
of the Garden Maze have a 3/4” border with a 3” white linen joining
section. The same double raspberry print is used in the outline of the
Garden Maze as is used in constructing the 9 patch blocks of the New
York Beauty pattern. The triangles that make up the New York Beauty
measure 1-3/8 x 1-3/8 x 1/2”. Created around 1860, this exquisite quilt
has been completely executed by hand. The joining blocks have wave
quilting, a New England and or Eastern style. The New York Beauty blocks
are diagonally quilted in 3/8” grids. The backing is linen and the seams
are joined by using a minuscule stitch. A 1/4” binding finishes the
edge. A spectacular piece of art for your bed or wall.
