Pansies
Unidentified Quilt Maker
Circa 1930
72 x 88 inches
Ex-Laura Fisher Collection
This charming quilt has the feel of a kit or pattern, but so far I cannot find a source for the design. It may be an original design -- we'll see what may turn up.
The needlework is especially well executed ~ and all hand done. Fine appliqué stitching, hand embroidered accents, and fine, rather elaborate hand quilting. All visible in the photos below.
The quilt is robust~ the design is full flavored, and the condition is excellent. The colors retain their original hues, and the all-cotton fabrics are strong and sturdy.
