A GORGEOUS basket of flowers appliqued quilt dating from the 1900's and skillfully hand sewn, hand quilted and machine stitched. This quilt is in wonderful, strong, as found condition. This quilt is reminiscent of a very grand and regal period when quilters had time to skillfully finish a quilt. Some fading, some thinning of material, some minor surface staining . The size is a generous 83" x 74". The quilt would work equally well on a full or a queen-sized bed and is in fair, unwashed condition, with the occasional tiny, faint age spot that will come out in this one's first wash. I have photographed some of the small minor stains and the faint fold marks from years of being folded unused. There are hand done grid stitching, throughout at 9 stitches to the inch. The back is white and the batting is thin. I have not washed this quilt. I have a nice collection of other antique quilts located in MY STORE.
