A lovely change from the traditional red and green floral applique quilts that were the most popular expression of stylized florals during the mid to late 19th century, this one is a true rose in color. Another distinguishing feature for the collector is the geometric maze that frames the individual applique blocks (sorry photo is cropped, there is another complete row on the right, plus the border). Balanced and symmetrical in composition, it is easy to display vertically or horizontally. In fresh like new condition
