Please notice this is just a quilt TOP: it is NOT a finished quilt or bedspread, as there is no batting or backing beneath the pieced fabrics shown in the photos.
The off-white fabric is certainly some type of cornmeal sack, or flour sack, probably unbleached, judging from its creamy color. The fabrics used for the appliques might be dyed sacks as well, but we can't tell.
All the sewing and embroidery on the blocks was done by hand. The setting of the blocks with sash...ing and borders was done by machine.
Please notice that the row of pansies we placed by the feet of the bed seem to be inverted when compared to the rest of the rows. That is better seen on pic # 1. We are not sure if that was done on purpose.
Another detail we want to call your attention to is that the purple fabric used for the sashing strips and the borders seem "less vintage" than the blocks themselves: it is possible a quilter inherited the blocks and finished the quilt top with a fabric that certainly plays with the purple pansies, but it does not look, at least to us, who are no experts.
The quilt top measures 85" by 79" across including the purple borders. Those borders are 11" wide. The part with the appliques and sashing only is almost the same width, 57", than the queen size bed used for the pics, which is 80" by 60".
