This Extended 9 Patch is also an optical illusion pattern. What fun! Designs are always more visual when hung on the wall and more subdued when laid on a bed. The blocks measure apx 15 inches tip to tip. The 5 squares within the block measure 2-1/2 inches while the ellipse that joins the Extended 9 Patch measures 10-1/2 x 3-1/2. The edge of the quilt is finished using two borders on all four sides. The first border is 2-3/4 inches wide and in raspberry pink. The second is 2-3/4 inches wide in white. The binding is 3/8 inch hand sewn, applied in white. The entire quilt is pieced by hand and quilted by hand. There are different motifs quilted inside the blocks and pieces. Outside strips each have a 3 inch chain stitch all around the quilt. Quilting stitches throughout this piece of art are nice and even. The entire piece is beautifully executed and is in unused condition. Professionally hand washed by Betsey and ready for your home.
