The maker of this crib quilt created a balanced, original design in a wonderful folk art style. Solid Turkey red, cheddar, and overdyed green pieces were appliqued by hand onto a white cotton background, and hand outline quilted both inside and outside of each piece. The white border is 5 ½ inches wide on two sides, and 6 ½ inches wide on the opposite sides and contains a meandering strip of Turkey red. The border has been hand quilted with diagonal lines spaced 5/8 inches apart. The ¼ inch binding has been turned from the front to the back, and the backing is also white cotton. This quilt came to us with a single sleeve already applied for hanging purposes. In excellent condition and professionally hand washed by Betsey.
