Item History & Price

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".
The piecing was done by hand and machine: the X parts of the blocks were pieced by hand, then the blocks were set by machine to the sashing strips and connecting squares: see pic # 12 to observe this detail.
The sailboat fabric used for the sashing ...strips is striking in its looks, and calls the attention to this patchwork right away. Besides that, the brown borders you see on pics # 2 and 3 were made with a fabric (not feed sack) with a print of abstract brown bees, a hive in full action.
There are several feed sacks: the ones on the X shapes on pics # 4, 6 and 7, for example, are feed sack scraps.
We combine shipping.
