Such a wonderful unused quilt, full of blues, burgundies and greens…what fun for a boy’s room! Sixteen large blocks were constructed from a wide variety of cotton and flannels in calico, plaids, and stripes in a crazy quilt formation. The 5 inch deep brown plaid border frames the quilt perfectly, and has been turned over to the back to create a ¾ inch binding. The backing is a soft grey flannel, divided by a bar of grey plaid down the center. The quilt is reverse tied with grey Pearl cotton twist, and ready to hang as wall art with two black cotton sleeves already applied. However, it is so warm and inviting, you might not be able to resist using it on your bed! Professionally hand washed by Betsey; please ask her for more details.
