QT903 Ruby McKim Design Basket Kit Quilt Top
c.1928
77 x 97 inches
Vinyl Haven, Massachusetts
$525
Art Deco was the rage during the 1920's when this quilt top was
designed. This is a kit quilt..which means you purchased a quilt top
in which all areas for the applique work as well as the quilting design were
stamped on the whole-cloth background. The premier kit quilt company was
Mountain Mist. This is a pattern designed by Ruby McKim. In this case
the quilter has executed and finished all applique work. In addition
added basket embellishment.
There is a white outer border that can be made any width under the 9" as
desired to fit a specific area. There is an inner border that is an inch
in width. All applique pieces are of only 2 measurements. All squares
measure 1" and all other pieces that are of a visually different
measurement are created from the same size pieces..all 1" square.
The colors are all indicative of the Depression era. An array of pastels
with a very few red accents. We assume that this was never used as this
quilt top has not been quilted. However, there are a few spots as you
may see on the image.
