A decorators dream for a white or pastel, sophisticated, yet happy
bedroom. These 1950's quilts are beautifully executed with applique
work, embroidery and quilting! The applique stitching is very small and
precise. All together there are 17 appliques, embroidered stylized
flowers. Each sprig or wreath of flowers is separated by a two tone blue
bow. Colors are all pastels.
Quilting design consists of a wreath around each of the sprigs plus
crosshatching and little floral designs. Stitching is small and even.
The edge is slightly scalloped with a 3/8" blur binding separately
applied and finished by hand. The backing is the same white as the front.
One quilt was hardly used and one appears never to have been used. These
can be sold separately. A kit quilt, as seen here, just means that all
the fabric is obtained as well as the quilting design being stamped on
the front. However, all work had to be executed by the quilter!
Now washed by hand with organic products, they are ready to be sent
for your approval with free shipping.
