Vintage quilt
from the 1940s, Grandmother's Flower Garden with a green garden path. It
measures 81" x 87". There are 55 complete flowers and 8 partial flowers. Each
flowers is made up of a yellow center, surrounded by a solid, surrounded by a
coordinated print, and then a white solid. A very typical setting and layout.
I like how she finished the top and bottom edges, a very well planned quilt.
And I like the center black flower. Each hexagon measures 1" across a side. It
is hand pieced and hand quilted in white thread to each hexagon. The backing is
a white solid fabric, and the batting is thin. There is an applied white
binding (by hand and machine).
It
is in good condition. There are a few spots, and one pink fabric is
deteriorating (6 hexagons). I can provide a c1930s pink solid to the buyer, to
replace the fabric at no additional cost.
