This cheerful and eye-catching mid-century Churn Dash quilt is a beauty made of vibrant pinks and floral prints. Handmade in the 1950s in the Mid-Ohio Valley region of West Virginia, the quilt reflects the practical artistry of the 1950s and Appalachian quilting traditions—it is simple, graphic, and composed of joyful colors.

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