An exquisite little quilt perfect for that incredibly graphic wall hanging you've been searching for! Everything about this piece is wonderful. It exudes charm from its youth bed size to the miniature tumblers pattern to the size of the pieces. Each tumbler measures 1 ½” at its base and is 1 ¼” high with hundreds of different fabrics comprising the pattern of over 1,600 tumblers.

This piece is tied, not quilted, using hundreds of red and blue pom-poms, adding another design detail that puts this piece over the top into the very special category. The whole cloth backing is a red, white and blue geometric print and an applied ¼” red binding frames the quilt. This little gem has been hardly used, and has been professionally hand washed by Betsey. Quilts are always sent on approval!
