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.
