Q9244 Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt
c.1930
78 x 86 inches
Ohio, family name upon sale
$1,400
If a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt can be described as
sophisticated...this is the one. This beautifully executed quilt is
comprised of thousands of 3/4" hexagons..all of which are hand sewn
together and then perfectly hand quilted around each and every piece.
The binding, also hand applied, is of the same green as the paths and
measures 3/8" in width. A natural color white muslin is the backing for
this quilt. All in all just beautifully constructed and graphically
wonderful.
The "path" is comprised of a medium shade of green...one of the most
desired colors of that era. There are dozens of wonderful calicos of
which I can only find one repeat. No matter what your color scheme you
will find that color on this wonderful, what appears to be unused,
quilt. The center of each block is a medium shade of yellow. Every block
has the same fabric for the outer and the same fabric for the inner
circle...except for one! Many say that some women created an obvious
difference in one area of their quilt because it was pretentious that
they believe that they are perfect. On this quilt one block has
alternating shades of pink in the inner circle....some wonderful
character to this quilt. Yes, this is conjecture,but, I believe that
here is one such case...
Organically hand washed by us and now ready to be sent for your approval.
