Original Design Applique Quilt

Original Design Applique Quilt Unidentified Quilt Maker Circa 1930 76 x 88 inches Origin Unknown It has  been fun trying to figure out if this especially lovely design was made using a published pattern. So far, none of us who've been sleuthing it has seen another just like it.   It has elements however, of a popular Mountain Mist design, pattern #28,  called "Martha's Vineyard," first published in 1931.  See my last two photos for comparing an example of a quilt that aligns exactly to the MM instructions, with this one. Speculated conclusion is that a quilt maker used the published elements to make her own original design.  S/he rearranged the MM elements into columns, and softened the first design by using a printed lilac print rather than a true purple.  Thin and lightweight, with a lovely, delicate feel. Recently professionally washed, this beauty is in Excellent Condition. Her hand quilting is dense and skillfully executed, and she finished the quilt with a separate binding in solid green cotton.   ___________________________________________________________________________ Before you purchase, please read below:  We want you to be happy with your purchase.  For this reason, all our quilts are sold On Approval (unless noted that it is sold As-Is).
