This has to be the funkiest Flower Garden quilt that I have ever seen or
sold! All of the work was executed by hand...and perfectly! So why such
a funky border?...The only reason I can think of is the quilter must
have had a great sense of humor
Each hexagon measures 7/8" with each piece being quilted on both sides.
There are two rows making up the border, one a pale orange and the
outer row a deeper orange. There is a 1/4" separately applied, by hand,
binding in white. The Kelly green hexagons placed strategically
thoughout the quilt add an extra touch to the creativity of the maker.
What a study of 1920's prints...tiny prints in the full array of pastels.
A size that makes a great "throw" or a twin bed quilt.
In perfect condition, that seems unused...now hand washed with an
organic product and ready to send, with free shipping, for your approval.
