Description

Unfinished silk crazy quilt. Each of the 14" squares is composed of various brightly-colored silk fabrics, all of which are sewn together by machine. No attempt was made to have the decorative embroidery stitching along the seams cover the machine sewn seams. Only two squares have pictorial decorative embroidery: one with three small circles and another with a bunch of grapes. Backed with a variety of types of glazed and unglazed cotton.
