This miniature Fan design quilt is graphically wonderful as well as a
perfect cuddle quilt. A woolen quilt with a homespun off white woolen
blanket backing lends itself to cold days..OR...a wonderful piece of
textile art for your wall.
Comprised of 144.... 6-1/4" blocks in the Fan design. Fan designs are so
Victorian as is all the beautiful embellishment around each and every
piece. The mark of excellence for a Victorian embellished quilt is 100
different stitches. This quilt passes that mark! The embellishment was
executed with fine wool yarns.
The pieces making up the fans measure 1/2" by 2-3/4" by 1". There is a
black twill tape binding with 1/4" showing in front. The fabrics are
just beautiful and of fine quality. The quilt is actually 4 quilts
measuring apx. 38" X 38" with each 6-1/4" block being a complete
miniature Fan design repeated 144 times.
In unused condition and ready to be sent, with free shipping, for your
