Please notice these are quilt BLOCKS: they are loose and do not constitute a quilt top and even less a finished quilt. The brown fabric is a bedspread and it is NOT part of the auction: you are bidding on 12 + 1 = 13 loose quilt blocks.
The fabrics used for the appliques are feed sacks as far as we can tell, all of them, with the exception of the blue circles fabric on pic # 6, which is a different type of cotton.
All the appliques are different. All of them were first sewn to th...e off-white, creamy sack fabric by machine first, then the hand stitching was added. The combination of those type of stitches can be seen on pic # 11, please take a look.
But the hand stitching of the edges of the appliques was fully applied on all cases, so the machine stitching is not visible unless you turn the blocks upside down.
The Friendship Dahlia blocks is, somehow, part of this group, we are not sure why, but they all were acquired together and have similar fabrics and sizes.
All blocks are 14" square. The bed is a queen, 80" by 60", for comparison purposes.
Please notice all the Sue appliques are looking in the same direction, with the exception of one Sue, seen on pic # 1 and close-up # 4, who is looking on the other direction.
We combine shipping.
