Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:169885 | Size: Full ~ Queen |
| Technique: Patchwork | Material: 100% cotton |
| Color: Multi-Color | Pattern: Rocky Road To Kansas |
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.
It measures 83" by 72" across; the bed is a queen, 80" by 60".
Check pics # 11 and 12 where you will understand better who this quilt top was pieced. The makers first put together by hand the Rocky Road To Kansas 4-arm stars, and then they sew to the back of those stars swatches of flour sacks, whose brand seems t...o have been Gold Medal Flour. That was for each star.
Then the sew stars to pink fabric from which they cut off the shape of the start, so the Rocky blocks are NOT appliques, but rather part of a patchwork quilt top.
Because of that process, the quilt top looks, when upside down, as shown on pic # 11 and 12, many pieces of flour sacks visible.
