This is a handmade patchwork quilt constructed from various printed and solid cotton fabrics. The quilt top features a variation of the Snowball or Bowtie block pattern, utilizing a wide range of scraps including red and white polka dots, floral motifs in green, purple, and yellow, and geometric medallion prints. The central patchwork section is framed by a border of red and white polka dot fabric strips with solid lavender cotton squares at each corner. The quilt is hand-pieced and features extensive hand-quilting in a grid pattern with inset diamond shapes. The backing is composed of two panels of solid red cotton fabric joined by a vertical center seam.
Likely from the 1940s
Feels like it was made and then stored, as the fabrics have little to no wear and we did not find any stains
