Unused...beautiful and will fit a queen bed...Don't let the description "kit Quilt" alarm you.. all this means is that the manufacturer supplied all the necessary fabric, batting and thread needed to create a beautiful quilt. Sewers and quilters came, as today, with many different skill sets. There are beautifully executed kit quilts and many different levels...the higher levels are the quilts I choose to buy.
The colors used for the flowers and leaves are the array of pastels seen during the depression era...they are happy and as such would cheer up an environment. A summer home...a beach home or just for the making of a happy bedroom.
The binding and scallop design are in mustard, a wonderful contrast to the pastels. Both the applique and quilting are executed using small stitches. We have echo quilting showing off the center medallion and the scalloped inner border..We have flowers and leave quilting ...The entire quilt is covered with a variety of quilting designs. The border is edged with a 3/8" applied binding.
This beautiful quilt was mint..never washed and apparently never used. Now that I have organically hand washed this quilt it is in a category called "unused". Please email or call if you would like me to send this quilt for your in home approval.
