A fabulous wool folk art crazy quilt, this one would be perfect for your wall or used as a cozy throw. Both wool and wool challis fabrics have been pieced and hand embellished with a variety of surface stitching completed in various colors of wool yarn. The four corners of the quilt are set off by fan blocks; adding another level of sophistication. This wonderful piece has been finished by stuffing with a wool blanket, backing with a black plaid wool buggy shawl, reverse tying, and pillowcase edging.
