This lovely Depression-era quilt features the classic Nine Patch block pattern set on point, with a slight twist since each nine-patch has a white center. The rest of the fabrics are a mix of feedsack and small-scale printed cottons, including florals, geometrics, stripes, and novelty prints. The hand-quilting is in a repeating shell pattern throughout the quilt.
The back is white cotton that has been turned to the front and hand-stitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is lightweight.
CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition with no issues noted.
