WS 10761

Cotton yardage of the kind seen in upholstery and home accents now transformed into a whole cloth quilt. The vivid multicolor floral borders would have seen other use as the hem of draperies, no doubt. A great blue ground floral print, as cheerful and durable as the floral cloths of the same period so collected today.

"Echo" quilting follows the cut contours of the applique, another distinction of Hawaiian quilts. There is substantial stitchery on the actual motif as well. In 'as found' condition, can be professionally laundered if buyer prefers.

  • 1940-50ss
  • cotton
  • Excellent untouched
  • $ 775.00
  • available

 


WS 10659

The lush imagery of mid-19th century album quilt blocks has been translated with crossstitch into this elegant mid-20th century quilt. A warm mid-green thread is the only color used on the white, so that the complexity of the individual bouquets and urns of flowers can really be studied. On the screen the green looks perhaps too grey and matte, in person it is the second green of leaves emerging in the spring.Superb condition and workwomanship

Beautifully rendered applique motif with many tiny petals and details as in nature. Uncommon discovery to find a pair of such quilts, especially in a flower not often depicted in these 1930s appliques. It's always a treat to find a fresh image from this era. The price is for each, the pair can be separated!

Bold stylized floral for the collector of quilts, or someone who wants a dramatic accent. Highly unusual navy blue background. The tulip (I thinkiss the single flower in each block, set on the diagonal for even more lively effect.

Only the second one I have seen in all the time spent looking at applique quilts!

WS 10437

An uncommon discovery is this 1930s DOGWOOD floral design. Appliqued white dogwood blossoms with brown pods and branches on a bold clear green background Lots of white dogwood blossoms form a diamond trellis central motif, and are scattered at the sides of the quilt. Radiant quilting underscores the vitality of the design. Most likely a published pattern or kit from the colonial revival era when floral designs entered the marketplace for quilters to make, yet this one is hardly ever found!
