This is a extraordinary appliqued quilt in the Autumn Leaves pattern. The craftsmanship is wonderful! It is hand-quilted, appliqued and hand-stitched binding. The large background pieces are seamed by machine. The Autumn Leaves pattern gained popularity when it was seen at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 at a quilt competition sponsored by Sears, Roebuck and Company. The background quilting on the white areas is a diamond pattern. The quilting on the peach areas is a random design. The hand-quilting is 9 - 10 stitches per inch and incredibly uniform and consistent. The predominant color is a lovely peach. The petals of the flowers are made of many, small floral prints. The quilt is approximately 88 x 88 inches and in excellent condition. There are a few small spots and a couple of small areas of discoloration. |
