This amazing piece of textile art, a.k.a a quilt, looks just like modern stained glass work. Found in Maine, this quilt has an outer 5" border of 2-1/2 x 5” piano keys. The silk velvet fabrics are an array of gorgeous muted colors; cranberry, brown and rust...to name just a few. On part of the border there is a 3/8” applied binding in a variety of colors. Joining the border to the next row is a 2” sashing then 7 x 4-1/2” rectangles, followed by 2” sashing. Next row of brick size rectangles 9 x 4” in alternating directions. It is a visually stunning piece of art. The whole cloth backing is an exquisite drapery fabric. In amazing wonderful condition and completely original. Picture this piece of art hung on one of your walls. :-) I am happy to send on approval.
