CONHO22 Pair of Deep Rose and White Cross Stitched Album Design Quilts
c.1940
61 x 89 inches
Maine
$1,600/Pair
Talk about symbolism..This pair of cross stitch quilts depict the
possible path a couple may follow. First comes love..then
commitment..then comes baby in a baby carriage. (or here showing a cradle)
Once again we have an unused pair of quilts that were too precious to
use. I bet the maker wished they used them...but, now they need a new
home. Made with a lot of love and hundreds of hours of work, these
quilts were meant to be used.
The stitches are perfectly matched and show hundreds of hours of work.
Each block measures 15" X 15". The border measures 7-1/4", including a
3/8" separately applied binding. The quilting design contains hearts,
flowers, vines and crosshatching. The quilting varies from 1' to 1-1/4'
with nice even quilting.
There are around 12 different designs, many reminiscent of Baltimore
Quilt designs along with the possibility of exciting happenings in the
life of a couple.
Now hand washed organically and ready to be sent with free shipping, for
your approval.

Q8134 Pair of Reversible Sunflower Quilts
c.1925
66 x 82 and 63 x 82 inches
California
$1,600/Pair
Did you know that we can put together a pair of quilts to make a king
size quilt!?! We have done so in the past for clients. Mustard color is
so in today. Here we have a pair of Sunflower quilts that are using a
very popular color for the sashing and binding. The back is the same
color mustard and becomes a totally reversible quilt with beautiful
quilting.
Each quilt has 20 blocks that measure approximately 10-1/2" X 10-1/2".
This competent quilter did not always create the same size blocks..Let's
call this "Character" 😄 Vertical sashing is 5" in width, the
horizontal sashing measures 5-3/4" in width. Borders on these quilts
measure 2-3/4" in width. There is a 1/4" separately applied binding.
The horizontal quilting design is crosshatching in a 1" grid. The
vertical quilting design is one of stacked leaves in a vine pattern. The
quilting stitching is very even and consistently executed. Both quilts
are pieced by machine and quilted by hand.
These quilts are hand washed organically and ready to be sent, with free
shipping, for your approval.

Q9059 Grandmother's Flower Garden
c. 1950
58 x 88 inches
Maine
$650 or $1,200/pair
There are two of these, almost but not quite identical. They share
many of the same fabrics...What a happy room these would create!
The Grandmother's Flower Garden pattern can only be pieced by hand. The
second most popular quilt pattern during the Depression, it is still
much loved and treasured. The amount of work that goes into the
composition of this pattern is staggering....the earliest patterns were
Mosaics, usually made from silk, many foundation pieced, without the
specific color order we see on 20th century quilts and came to us from
England. The name and design of this pattern was created in the 1920's.
This quilt was created in the 1950's and used many of today's, in
fashion, colors...GREY!!..and more.
Made for a twin bed, this quilt can also be used, because of its size,
as a throw for any size bed....or anywhere else you may want a cuddly
coverup.
Each side of these (hundreds) of hexagons measure 3/4"..the outside ring
of each garden is a solid color, the inside row is a coordinating
calico, the center of each is a yellow/gold solid. The order of the
print and solid rows is juxtaposed to the normal design and therefore
rare and unusual. There is a separate applied 3/8" binding. The outside
edge of each row is quilted, the center circle is outline quilted and
the Gardens are joined by a white path.
In unused condition, organically hand washed by Betsey, this very happy
feeling quilt is ready to be sent for your approval.

Q1813 Pair of Lavender Baskets Quilts
c.1925
70 x 104
MA
$1,900 for the pair
This marvelous pair of lavender basket quilts is guaranteed to make you smile. What a wonderful set for your twin beds and in a great palette. The baskets are comprised of 2 3/8 x 1 3/4 inch hand pieced triangles alternating from solid lavender to a lovely lavender, yellow, and teal calico, with a hand appliqued lavender handle.
The 11 ¾ blocks have been set on point, and the double border echoes the alternating fabric arrangement of the baskets. The backing is white cotton, and the binding has been formed by turning the lavender border from front to back. These two quilts have been created with extra length to accommodate a pillow tuck, and are in excellent condition. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
