Q9303 Mosaic in Wool Quilt

$950
A spectacular quilt that is not only graphically wonderful for your
wall, but also such a warm and cozy quilt to cuddle up under. All hexagon
pieces are created from woolen fabrics, with the backing being a soft
cotton flannel in a great stripe/plaid. (optical illusion design.)
This pattern, called a Mosaic, came to us from England and is the
precursor to the Depression Era pattern well known as Grandmother's
Flower Garden. Each hexagon has 3-1/4" sides, creating a dramatic design.
Pieced by hand in muted colors from woolen fabrics that are solids, plaids, stripes, and
tweeds. The cotton flannel backing is turned over
from the back to the front, creating a 1-inch binding, staying in proportion
to the size of the design. This is a quilt the likes of which I have never
seen in 38 Years of my business.
This wonderful textile is ready to be sent to you with free shipping for
your approval.
