What a fun piece of wool folk art for your wall or as an accent piece in any room! In excellent condition, 4 ½ x 3 ¼ inch blocks of various suiting wools were joined together and embellished with wool yarn herringbone and fly stitching along each seam. A garden of folky and colorful wool yarn flowers was added, then layered with a wool blanket and backed with pieced grey plaid flannel. So cozy and inviting; just right for a good book and a cold winter’s night! This quilt is reverse tied and bound with a 5/8 inch black wool challis binding.
