A classic redwork quilt top that is taken to another level with the embroidery of the American flag. It also has dates and the creators initials “FYL” embroidered in a center block. Lovely deep red 3 ½ inch cotton sashing separates the finely done embroidery in each of the 30 redwork blocks. A bee hive, windmill, horse, teapot with creamer, sugar, cup and saucer, the American flag and fireworks are just some of the images depicted in this sweet quilt top. Each block measures approximately 6 ½ inches with no fading or thinning of the stitching or fabric. There is some discoloration, possibly from water in some cases, in many of the blocks that should come out with its first wash. A beauty just waiting for you to finish!
