FANS ON A ROSE PINK GROUND


 
FANS ON A ROSE PINK GROUND
This is the quintessential fans quilt made with gentle 1930s feedsack prints surrounded with a lovely rose background. A deeper rose is the base of each fan. Interesting how the skilled quiltmaker composed the design, rotating the direction of the rows of the pieced fan blocks to convey a sense of movement that the pattern implies. Unusually large for its era, it can be used horizontally across a king-size bed. The lavish feather quilting suggests the loving effort of a skilled needle worker. Mint untouched condition.
