This is a very colorful vintage Pinwheel Quilt dating to approximately the 1950s, featuring 35 individually pieced pinwheel blocks arranged in a striking turquoise and pink setting.
Each pinwheel incorporates a different combination of vintage fabrics, including colorful plaids, paisleys, stripes, geometric prints, and novelty cottons dating from the 1930s to the 1950s.
The vivid turquoise sashing is accented by alternating light and pink cornerstones, along with multicolored striped squares. The quilt is entirely hand quilted, with straight-line stitching forming a grid across the turquoise sashing and extending through the pieced blocks.
The back is white cotton that has been turned to the front and handstitched to form the binding. The cotton batting is lightweight.
