This wonderfully hand pieced quilt top met with a mouse. The way it was folded, a mouse chewed a hole right through the folded quilt, creating a 4" x 1-1/4" absence of fabric. One can either redo the blocks or patch in a piece of fabric, which is how they might have done that 100 + years ago. I have organically hand washed this top in cold water..and ironed it.

There are some amazing Indigo printed fabrics along with an array of wonderful calicoes joined together with horizontal sashing 3-3/4 wide, while the vertical is 3-5/8" wide. This sashing is not pink, but an unusual red. Each block measures 11" square and they are all hand pieced.

Double T quilts are unusual. This top is ready to be sent with free shipping for your approval.
