Item:                    TO-DIE-FOR excellent condition 1930s-era quilt -- old pattern called Crossed Tulips or may be Morning Glory -- doesn't matter one hoot what you call it -- it's FABULOUS, with great VISUALS showing up against a snowy-white background -- just about as good as it gets -- bought in a small collection purchased in East Texas -- this is hand-done by a master seamstress, and as ELEGANT as they come -- if you're trolling for the perfect SWEET SPRING or SUMMER quilt to add to your high-end quilt collection...well, here it is folks -- it's light-weight and very fine -- this is ONE amazing heirloom-quality quilt, that will please you and future generations -- don't miss it! 

Materials:             All old 100% cottons -- nice-quality fabrics that were obviously purchased at the nearest dry-goods store just for the construction of this quilt -- this is NOT a scrap quilt -- it was most assuredly created and owned by a prominent family as a showpiece or parlor quilt -- probably only brought out for company -- JUST THE BEST colors of bubblegum pink, lavender, and emerald green which are all good stable fabrics and color -- no homespun/home-dyed job, this is the REAL DEAL -- and very rare to find in this condition -- very narrowly banded in emerald green, and backed in the same snowy cotton seen on the front of quilt -- straight edges with nice slightly-curved corners.   

Batting:                 Very light-weight old hand-carded cotton that came straight from the family cotton patch -- obviously carefully cleaned of seeds and debris -- razor-thin and elegant -- a gorgeous, SHOWY quilt.

Handwork:            Totally hand-pieced, hand-appliqued in nice blind-stitching and hand-quilted in a very plentiful pattern which includes double-rows, grids, floral designs, triple-potted tulips (TO DIE FOR!) and flourishy plume patterns at 8-9 teeny stitches per inch -- literally QUILTED TO DEATH and SATURATED in quilting stitches -- this master seamstress was definitely showing off her handwork skills -- the handwork is INCREDIBLE -- LOTS of time, talent and LOVE went into the making of this piece.  

Size:                       74" x 76"  

Condition:             Very excellent condition --  clean, strong and sturdy -- light wear/gentle usage -- colors crisp and vibrant -- everything intact, except a couple of very small areas in the white background that show some thinning and very light shattering -- (the backing also shows some thinning, which has absolutely no effect on the front of the quilt) -- all the applique work is absolutely intact -- edges in wonderful shape -- batting in nice shape, due to all the quilting stitches -- just a couple tiny faint-colored age spots, that are completely insignificant in the overall scheme of things -- nothing else to report, and FOR SURE no apologies here -- has EXCEPTIONAL display value, as you can see in the pics -- ready for your bed, stacked in your quilt cabinet, hung over the door of your jelly cupboard -- or hang immediately as SPECTACULAR wall-art -- a true SHOW-STOPPER...the SWEETEST EYE-CANDY that I've seen in a long time -- this one is fully capable of being the SUPER-STAR of any quilt collection!
