1930s Grandmother's Sunburst Quilt – Sherbet Colors, Scalloped Border, 77" x 80"

Often mistaken for a standard Dresden Plate, the pattern of this exquisite 1930s Grandmother’s Sunburst Quilt is characterized by its striking two-color petal arrangement. This quilt features a cheerful "Sherbet" palette of mint green and butter yellow against a crisp white ground. Each "plate" consists of alternating yellow and green petals radiating from a warm peach center.

The quilt has been intricately hand-quilted with exceptional motifs, including twisted rope and unique twisted rope expanded motifs, along with sunburst motifs in the white "negative space". The stitch-per-inch count is high, reflecting the skill of a dedicated maker.
• Scalloped Edge/Unique Border: The quilt is finished with a beautiful, labor-intensive four-sided striped border that uses the same sherbet colors of the body of the quilt, finished with a scalloped edge.
• Back/Binding/Batting: The back is yellow cotton as is the binding which has been hand-stitched to both sides. The cotton batting is lightweight.
