Setting teeny tiny Baskets on the diagonal in rows of color was such a good idea! Each Basket block measures about only 3.5 inches square.
Quilt is in excellent condition with an occasional small spot. Strong and sturdy, with a nice variety of turn-of-the-20th-century printed cottons.
Hand quilted in Clamshell or Fan quilting, also sometimes called Elbow quilting.
