Wow..this is different...yes, I have never seen anything like the way this quilter chose her fabrics! A simple Nine Patch with creative piecing, and only one color, tan, is a solid color. The feeling here is this would be great on a bed...and no one would have one like it!

Blocks are 10" x 10"...sashing measures 3-1/2" in width. The border is 4" in width. All of the piecing is by hand. There are plaids, one solid, stripes, calicoes, as well as exquisite Paisleys! There are even a few pieces that were carefully pieced from several different fabrics. All fabrics appear to be unused.

We just found this top on the bottom of a pile...I cannot remember where I purchased it, sorry 🙁

Always sent on approval.
