Description

42 x 68 An unfinished vintage patchwork quilt top dating from the mid-20th century. The piece is constructed from various printed and solid cotton fabrics. The design features several large square blocks separated by vibrant orange sashing with dark brown cornerstones. Each large block contains a sixteen-unit grid, with each individual unit showcasing a Diamond-in-a-Square (Square-on-Point) motif. The fabrics used in the patterned diamonds include white ground with green and yellow polka dots, white ground with red and pink floral sprays, white ground with large red cabbage rose motifs, blue and white gingham, and white ground with small-scale red floral calico prints. The construction is machine-pieced, and the reverse side reveals raw seam allowances. A light blue fabric strip is partially attached along one edge.
