Each block is a little different from the next , which makes for lots of interest, plus some sparkle ~ vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe quilt is in very good condition, but the solid teal sashing here has some uneven fading, as you can see in the photos. It's not rare to see this kind of fading in some turn of the 20th century solid dyes.  These unreliable dyes even have a name; they are called \"fugitive dyes.\"  Some, like me, find this kind of fading unobjectionable. In fact, I like it.  It's arty, and shows that the quilt has had a life.  ~ Personal preferences -- we love them! It makes the world so interesting!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe maker was a skilled and experience piecer.  Curves and points like these in the Sunflowers, are not for a beginning piecer!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe hand quilting is very simple ~ a variation of Fan quilting. Rather than creating arcs of a fan, this quilter(s?) did a right angle, thereby squaring off the arcs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA fine example of turn-of-the-20th-century Southern quilts, with pleasing scale and proportions, precise piecing, and appealing colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row-fluid vc_row-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_column_inner  span6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"long-line\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e___________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you purchase, please read below: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWe want you to be happy with your purchase.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFor this reason, all our quilts are sold On Approval (unless noted that it is sold As-Is).
