Vintage 1960s Embroidered Sampler Quilt with Scalloped Swag Border – 86” x 86”

This charming vintage 1960s embroidered sampler quilt is beautifully executed and in never-used condition - with the quilting outlines still visible. It combines cross-stitch embroidery with intricate hand-quilting and the hand-quilting includes feathers, feather wreaths, diagonal grids and flowers.

The sampler layout includes floral arrangements, bows, birds, and wreath motifs in bright, saturated cotton threads—pinks, reds, blues, yellows, and greens—standing out vividly against the crisp white ground. Another standout feature is the wide quilted border, with a scrolling red swag cross-stitch and hand-quilted feather motifs.

The back is white cotton while the binding is green cotton that has been machine stitched to the front and hand-stitched to the back. The cotton batting is lightweight.

CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition with a faded binding that is completely intact but seems to have lightened/faded over time.
