A glorious blue and white quilt in excellent condition… with triple borders! This lovely antique quilt is comprised of just two fabrics: a pristine white and a deep blue cotton with tiny white pinwheels. The inner borders measure 1 ½” wide each, with a 1 ¾” width for the outermost blue border. The small blocks measure 1 ¾” each.

Quilting on this beautiful piece is stitched by hand with finely executed wreaths in the white joining blocks and diagonal cross hatching throughout. This is just a wonderful example of a popular pattern done exceptionally well from the precise piecing to the triple borders and exquisite hand quilting. This piece also has provenance as it comes straight from the maker's family. That information will be made available to the buyer. A must-have addition to a blue and white collection or a wonderful first piece and in pristine condition. Professionally hand washed by Betsey. Quilts are always sent on approval.
