Mariner's Compass quilts are highly sought after. This is a small part
of one that is a perfect size for a table topper, a grouping or that
hard to find place for a special piece of art in your home or boat! We
have the other piece as art on our boat ...so you know I love it!
Created from an over dyed Green, white and mustard color cotton fabrics.
The backing is an off white linen typical of pre 1865 early Eastern U.S.
quilts. All work was executed by hand as this was made before sewing
machines were in the public use.
This little quilt can be sent for your approval.
