Vintage 1930s–1940s Wild Rose Quilt – Hand Appliquéd, Embroidered & Hand Quilted – 72” x 92”

Beautiful vintage Wild Rose quilt made from a Bucilla quilt kit dating to the 1930s or 1940s. This exceptionally detailed quilt is made of robin’s egg blue, soft aqua, deeper blue, and white, with elaborate floral appliqué, delicate hand embroidery, and extensive hand quilting throughout.

The design features a central white panel framed by trailing blue and aqua wild roses, surrounded by a wide robin’s egg blue field decorated with white wild rose blossoms, embroidered stems, leaves, and floral centers with a broad white outer.

The workmanship is impressive. The appliquéd flowers are carefully embroidered details, while the hand quilting includes closely spaced shells, floral designs, and diamonds. The white borders have scalloped quilting motifs, and the central panel is filled with intricate floral quilting with vines.

Bucilla quilt kits were popular during the early and middle decades of the 20th century and provided carefully designed patterns, with the quilts hand-stitched and hand quilted skilled home needleworkers. This example demonstrates the considerable time and attention devoted to both the decorative embroidery and the quilting.

The back is white cotton as is the binding that has been machine stitched to the front and handstitched to the back. The cotton batting is lightweight.
