Q9304 Optical Illusion Pinwheel/Star Quilt
c.1930
75 x 92 inches
Midwest
$1,200
An optical illusion quilt that would fit a queen bed...and what a happy
statement this would make! 🙂
Created from thousands of "logs" of 1920's -"30's calicoes, plaids,
stripes and solids. The longest piece measures 6" x 1-1/8"...the
shortest measures 1-1/2" x apx. 3/4". Each block measures 15" x 15".
The solid Marine Blue stars are so cheerful. Here we have a wonderful
study of the huge array of Depression era fabrics.
The piecing was done by treadle machine while the hand quilting stitches
are small and even. The blue stars are heavily quilted with 4 Tulip designs.
The backing is a solid light blue with the 1/4" binding turned over
from the back to the front and hand stitched down. The backing does have
some straight line fading where the quilt was folded inside out and
stored for years. The front is perfect!
Now organically hand washed and ready to be sent with free shipping, for
your approval.
