This very happy Cake Stand quilt is in perfect unused condition. Is it possible the quilt was made for a birthday present and too special to be used? All blocks are on point and measure 10 inches square. The center triangle in each block measures 7-1/2 inches on the base and 5-1/2 inches on each side. The triangles on the top of the Cake Stand, which represent the candles, measure 2-1/2 x 2 x 2 inches. The alternating white blocks are wonderfully quilted with wreaths. Other triangles are embellished with what appears to be leaves. The balance of the quilt, including the border, is quilted in diagonal lines. The piecing is done by machine and the quilting is done by hand. The edging is comprised of two borders and a binding. The first border is the same pink floral print measuring 2-1/2 inches, the second is white measuring 2-3/4 inches and the binding is applied by hand, again the same pink floral print measuring 1/2 inch and finished by hand. Professionally hand washed by Betsey and ready for your home.
