Vintage 1930s Thousand Pyramids Quilt Top – Plaids & Shirtings – 70” x 84”

This is a beautiful Thousand Pyramids quilt top, pieced entirely from a lively assortment of vintage plaids, ginghams, and shirting fabrics, all likely repurposed from garments, giving it a deeply authentic Depression-era character. The quilt top has a two-sided border in small pink cotton blocks.

Fabrics:
• Wide range of 1930s–1940s plaids, checks, and shirtings
• Beautiful mix of pastels and saturated tones (teal, cherry red, soft yellow, pink, navy)
• Strong visual movement created by the alternating light/dark triangle arrangement
• Classic Thousand Pyramids pattern (Brackman #111a)
• Off-white muslin ground providing contrast and cohesion

This top is in excellent vintage condition. Please note that it is a QUILT TOP ONLY and has no back, no batting and needs to be finished and quilted.
