Wow!!! Over one thousand fifty four miniature bow ties. Can you imagine
the patience required, working to create 2-3/8"bow tie squares over a
thousand times?! One part that was good was that the creator could take
the pieces with her and work on them while she was visiting at another
home. I'll admit I haven't counted the different fabric patterns. Still
on another level if you are a lover of fabrics from this era, you will
love this quilt!
Completely hand pieced, each miniature 2-3/8" bow...All of the bows,
except for those in the two outer rows, are outline quilted. The outer
rows ...The quilting stitches are the same, but the quilted patterns are
different, though I do not have a clue why the quilter chose this. The
backing of the quilt is a whole cloth in a wonderful peach color. The
separate hand applied 3/8" binding is of the same fabric. The center of
the bow is 3/4" by 3/4", letting you know how small these bows are.
This amazing textile will fit a double or a queen bed, or will make a
happy, happy piece of art for your wall. This is a mint quilt, meaning
it was never used and never washed. Some people like to collect mint
quilts, so I have left it unwashed. However, if you would like it
washed, I will do so at no extra cost.
Ready to be shipped to your home, with free shipping, for your at home
approval.
