This is a striking 1940s wholecloth quilt featuring quilting in pink thread and matching prairie point edging. This quilt is a wonderful example of how a simple wholecloth design can be transformed into a work of textile art through exceptionally intricate quilting.
Made from a creamy ivory cotton ground, the quilt is covered in hand quilting stitched entirely in vibrant pink thread. The quilting includes graceful feathers, florals, latticework, and geometric channels that create remarkable texture, while the pink prairie point border frames the quilt beautifully.
The quilting is the true star of this piece. Rows of precise parallel stitching converge toward the center while flowing feather motifs and floral garlands really showcase the talent of the quilter. The back is ivory-white cotton while the edge is pink prairie points. The cotton batting is lightweight.
CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition. Please examine the photographs carefully as they are an important part of the description. It has been soaked, freshly hand washed and line-dried, giving a light natural sun-dried cotton scent (not artificially fragranced).
