A beautiful example of a mid 19th century "Oak Leaf and Reel" ...
Made by a very skilled quilt maker, the design of this classic design, along with
the fine hand applique work and hand quilting are superb. Tiny even stitches executed at about 10 - 11 per inch.
S/he added a satisfying vining border ~ and finished the edge with a narrow, separately hand applied binding, using the same l
lovely green seen throughout.
