$550

Irises of white and gold on a Prussian blue silk velvet. Was this originally made as a center medallion for a crazy quilt or was it made on it’s own merit? The embroidery is so lush it’s actually three dimensional. This piece is absolutely gorgeous. This would look perfect hung on the wall. We can sew sleeves to the back for borderless framing.
