These pieces came from a quilt that was perfect only in these areas. I
actually have one from the same quilt hanging in my bedroom.
Created from overdyed green prints made during the second quarter of the
19th century. These fabrics were very, very expensive which tells us
about the society in which the quilter lived. Affluent women held hand
work as one of their important attributes. This fabric was created by
putting blue dye over yellow to create green.
All of these have been bound with fabric of the same date. Small pieces
like these are perfect as adornment for your table or that hard to
decorate small area or as a grouping on your wall along with other objects.
Now organically hand washed and ready to be sent for your approval.
