This wonderfully welcoming pineapple log cabin quilt in the very unusual color combination of red and blue-grey has been gently used, but is in excellent condition. ¾ inch wide logs have been sewn into pineapple blocks approximately 8 ¾ inches square. The 6 inch quadruple border has been formed from alternating red and blue-grey strips, with the outermost 1 inch border serving as the binding. Entirely hand quilted with cables in two of the four borders, and straight line quilting along one side of each log. The backing is very soft grey flannel. The combination of superior graphics and lovely feel make this the perfect quilt for a bed or wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey.
