A stunning example of a classic indigo and white quilt.
This one is early and made with great skill and care. The quilt is exceptionally large (94 x 94 inches), and would work well on a modern bed. The scale of the pieces is small – so the overall proportions here are especially pleasing.
DENSELY Hand Quilted in a tight crosshatch pattern called “hanging diamonds,” and executed at about 9 - 10 stitches per inch (counting one side only).
