Lot 376:
Mid-C. Patchwork Quilt Top w/ Novelty & Leopard
Description
64 x 74 This item is a vintage hand-assembled patchwork quilt top, likely intended as a utility throw or coverlet. The piece is constructed from an eclectic variety of scrap fabrics, including cotton and cotton-blend textiles. It features a simple block-grid layout joined using a top-stitch method where the raw seam allowances are left exposed on the front side, a technique frequently seen in utility or rag-style quilts. The fabric patterns are diverse and characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century textiles, including red and white gingham, various types of striped shirting, leopard print, blue toile-style florals, a green scenic toile, and a vibrant novelty print featuring tomatoes and green peppers. One pink block displays small embroidered floral accents. The piece is unfinished, lacking batting or a backing layer.
