~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This all-cotton "Bowtie" quilt can also be seen as "Circles" or
"Snowball," the secondary pattern created in white.
I like how it is both graphic and cheery. I see a lovely combination ~ strong design balanced with flowery fabrics.
Excellent Condition. The quilt is crisp, and appears to have not
been washed. Light pencil lines, used for marking quilt designs, remain.
There's a light stain very near one corner; see my last photograph.
Hand quilted with nice even stitches.
