Q9113a Variation of World's Fair Block Pictures
c.1925
65 x 79 inches
Pennsylvania
$700
Used here is the shade of red as seen in mid to early 19th century
Turkey Red dyed fabric. However, this is a 20th century chemical dyed
fabric not a vegetable dyed one.
A very graphic quilt created only in red and white becoming an optical
illusion piece of art due to the pattern and the strong contrast with
the white and wonderfully strong red. Beautifully machine pieced then
hand quilted, this is a quilt to add to your home for its graphics, not
its quilting. I feel that two different women created this piece of
art...a meticulous piecer and graphic designer and a not so wonderful
hand quilter!
Created from 9-1/2" blocks and finished with a 1/4" binding turned over
from the back to the front then hand stitched down. This pattern creates
for me what I first view as An Irish Chain pattern, then a Rob Peter to
Pay Paul pattern and then a Center Medallion pattern....all together
creating a wonderfully graphic optical illusion quilt...perfect for a
wall calling for a red and white piece of textile art.
In unused condition and now organically hand washed by Betsey. This
quilt is ready to be sent to your home for approval.
