This all original doll quilt in perfect condition is completely hand pieced and hand quilted. The indigo blue fabric in the triple borders is also used on the backing making this little quilt a true treasure. Nine patch blocks measure 3 1/2 inches square with the smaller 9 patch blocks containing 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 inch squares. Solid black, solid white, black plaid and a terrific double pink calico were used in the Double 9 Patch design. The inner 5/8 inch indigo print border has tiny plaid corner blocks that match the joining blocks used in the double nine patch interior. The middle 1 1/4 inch wide border is made up of pieced triangles in black and white plaid, the same indigo print, white, and a very sweet mini print in red on white. The outer border is 1 1/2 inches wide in the indigo print and is pillowcase stitched by hand to the backing also in the indigo print. A truly wonderful little antique doll quilt. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
