Vintage 1940s Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt – Hand Quilted – Green Background – 61” x 84”

This charming 1940s Grandmother’s Flower Garden Quilt is made up of thousands of colorful hexagons forming dozens of rosettes across an unusual emerald green background. The flower gardens are pieced from vintage cotton prints in shades of pink, lavender, blue, yellow, red, and turquoise.

The fabrics are characteristic of the 1930s and 1940s and include small-scale florals, novelty prints, cheerful stripes, plaids, and multicolored feedsack cottons. Particularly interesting are the bright yellow striped florals, blue and pink dress prints, and a Western-themed novelty fabric.

The quilt is entirely hand pieced and hand quilted, with quilting following the outlines of the thousands of hexagons throughout the quilt. The back is a blue/green & white cotton print that has been turned to the front and handstitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is very lightweight.
