Description
Antique folding brass doll bed with quilt
B. 8.5" x 8.75" quilt made up of 1.625" square multi-colored blocks. The ten fabrics are arranged in a diagonal design and are perfectly on the straight of grain. Blocks are hand stitched together and attached to a ginger colored tricot layer with a straight machine stitch. The backing has not been turned, but cut to match the patchwork that has been folded under. Top layer has a finely crocheted 1/2" trim attached to the top with a hand applied running stitch. Scalloped lace is sewn down on the top by hand with white thread using a running stitch. Three corners are mitered and one is overlapped.
