Q8284 Whig Rose Quilt
c.1928
77 x 85 inches
New Jersey
$950

A wonderfully executed 20th Century rendition of the Whig Rose pattern. Due to its size, this quilt should fit even a queen size bed. If you love the combination of blue and pink...here is a quilt for you...How wonderful this quilt would look in a cottage...never used and now ready to be loved.

The blocks on point measure 10". The brilliant rose-pink and a same tone blue combine with a small amount of green and white to create a very happy piece of art! All applique work is perfect as is the minuscule quilting. Every other block is blue with medallion quilting with all areas filled in with more quilting. The Rose block has straight line quilting in all white areas. There is elongated oval quilting joining the blue blocks to each other. All appliqued blocks are outline quilted with circular quilting in the pink section of the Rose. All quilting is minuscule and perfect!

There is a wonderful double border on three sides. The width if the blue is 5", width of the pink is 4-1/2" with a 1/4" binding as part of the blue border measurements. The blocks and sashing are joined by machine. The binding is applied by machine and closed by hand. The backing is an off white fine muslin. The wholecloth backing, with such wonderful quilting, makes this a quilt you could reverse just to enjoy the design!

This unused quilt is now organically hand washed and ready to be sent, with free shipping, for your approval.
