A Patriotic quilt that was constructed from solid cotton feed-sacks and
a cotton blue chambray along with a red cotton fabric. The white backing
was also constructed from white feed-sacks.
The diamonds that make up the design have 1-3/4" sides with the entire
blocks measure 11-1/2". All piecing and quilting are executed by hand.
The quilting is average, but all diamonds are outline quilted with a
medallion quilted in each of the solid squares. There are 3-1/2" wide
borders on two sides with a 1/4" binding turned over from the front to
the back and closed by treadle machine. These two borders are quilted
with a double chain design. The opposite two sides have the binding
turned over from the back to the front and closed by treadle machine.
This graphic quilt exudes a comforting feeling.
It is possible that the feed-sack fabrics are a clue to the family being
farmers.
The size of this quilt was made for a double bed but would fit the top
of a queen size bed or make a very graphic piece of textile art for your
wall.
Now ready to be sent, with free shipping, for your approval.
