This colorful Dutch Mill Quilt dates to the 1950s-1960s and features an intricate arrangement of small patchwork squares surrounding large white blocks, creating an interlocking geometric design.
The quilt incorporates a wonderful variety of vintage cotton fabrics, including bright pink and green florals, blue and yellow ginghams, tiny calico prints, stripes, paisleys, and novelty prints.
It is hand quilted in outlines of the patchwork and with unique geometric patterns filling the large white areas. The back is white cotton while the edge is finished in a prairie point edge with small white triangular points that around the entire quilt.
CONDITION: Beautiful vintage condition. The fabrics remain colorful and the hand quilting intact along with the distinctive prairie point edging. Please examine the photographs as they form an important part of the description.
