What a graphically wonderful quilt! The color impact of the deeply dyed indigo with tiny white stars combined with vibrant vegetable dyed chrome orange is just stunning! The blocks are 11 inches square, with 5 3/8 inch indigo sashing and chrome joining blocks. Interestingly, the lilies in just one of the blocks have had a double pink fabric substituted for the chrome. The triple border is comprised of approximately 2 ¾ inch strips of chrome, indigo, and blue striped shirting fabrics, and finished with a 5/8 inch chrome binding. The wholecloth backing is the same blue striped shirting. Entirely hand pieced and hand quilted in outlines, diagonal lines and daisy medallions. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
