Wow! What a stunning and beautifully executed quilt in unused condition. The myriad of colors in solid and print cottons is a treat for the eyes. Meticulous piecing of the mosaic tumbling blocks pattern and the hand outline quilting throughout showcase this quilter’s skill and design expertise. The mosaics visually leap off the ivory background as they vie for your attention.
Hundred of hexagons comprise the ivory background which is the perfect foil for the vibrant color. The choice of fabrics used to create this quilt are so exceptional they were recently studied and reproduced by RJR Fabric to create an entire line of reproduction fabrics under the Betsey Telford’s Rocky Mountain Quilts label. The backing is soft yellow cotton with a ¼ inch hand applied slightly darker yellow binding on the lovely reticulated border. This quilt is a bright and vivacious statement for a bed or would be a beautiful piece of graphic art for your wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
