Q9319 Pinwheel Dresden Plate Quilt
c. 1930
70 x 88 inches
New England
$1,100
What a happy quilt that was constructed and quilted with some of the
best work. The quilting is some of the finest you will ever see..the
piecing is perfect with even a miniature nine block for the joining
blocks instead of just a simple square as most quilt joining blocks
have. There is triple row sashing measuring 4" from three rows of 1-1/3"
strips. The center of the Pinwheel measures 3-3/4" with the entire
Pinwheel having a diameter of 15-1/2". Each block measures Apx. 18" X 18".
The fabrics are all from the 20's and early 30's...and what a
wonderful array of Depression Era Calicoes!
The quilting is extraordinary..every piece is outline quilted, then the
quilter goes from there! The top and bottom strips have another row of
quilting through the middle. The center strip is quilted with a square
on point chain. The center of the pinwheel has a four petal pinwheel
quilted design. In the four corners of the Pinwheel block there is
beautifully embellished quilting design.
The border is the same as the sashing, all heavily quilted. The pink is a
very light shade with the backing a darker shade of pink. A bonus is
there are "sleeves" already sewn onto the back for hanging. If used on a
bed, these sleeves will not be be noticed.
There is no question that the creator of this quilt was a master of this
art!
Hand washed with an organic product and ready to be sent on approval
