This striking mid-century appliqué quilt top features scrolling vines and floral blossoms framed by vivid green borders. It is made from small-scale floral prints in soft pastels and cheerful 1950s–60s cottons, all against a crisp white ground fabric and dramatic bright green borders.
Notably, this piece has finished edges and binding, but it does not contain batting and has not been quilted, making it a summer-weight coverlet or quilt top. It is not a completed quilt and would need batting, a back and quilting.
