This is a graphically wonderful crib quilt that was sent to me. It appears to be unused. As I am selling the little quilt the profits will be given for Cancer research.

Unused and ready to be a wonderful piece of art for your wall. Completely hand pieced and hand quilted. Each square in the Steeplechase pattern measures 1-1/4" square...while the triangles in the Flying Geese border measure 1-3/4" x 1-1/4"...the little side triangles measure only 1-1/4" X 1".

The fabrics on the front consist of four prints: a red with a white leaf design, a red with a funky squiggle, and the binding is a red with a print that looks like the foundation footprint of a home! The white fabric has a straight line floral vine stripe. The same white fabric was used for the backing. The backing tells us that the family was of comfortable means as it could have been made into another quilt.

Now washed and ready to be sent, with free shipping, for your approval.
