A fabulous quilt in wonderful condition...with a crisp two color palette. Very skillfully pieced, then finely hand quilted with precise cross hatch stitching in the squares on point, double chains in the triple borders, and sunflowers with diagonal cross hatch centers in the joining blocks - all in small, even stitches. The solid pink cotton squares are 2 inches per side, with 11 inch white cotton joining blocks. The triple border consists of approximately 2 inch wide strips of alternating solid pink and white cotton. The extra design element of the 9 patch corner blocks makes this vintage quilt extra special.

The applied ⅜ inch binding is the same solid pink cotton used in the quilt's top, and the backing is solid white cotton. This quilt was used but lovingly cared for and is in excellent condition. Please ask Betsey for more details and to have this quilt sent to you on approval for private viewing.
