This hand-sewn patchwork quilt features a classic hexagonal floral pattern, often referred to as the “Grandmother’s Flower Garden” design. Measuring approximately 32 inches by 30 inches, the quilt is composed of small, meticulously pieced hexagons in various shades of pink, red, blue, and brown, creating a vibrant mosaic effect.
The quilt’s border is constructed from alternating patterned strips in corresponding colors, and the backing displays a brown geometric print consistent with fabrics popular in the early 20th century. The use of numerous fabric scraps suggests a resourceful approach consistent with quilts from this era. The visible hand-stitching and slight irregularities throughout the piece confirm its artisanal nature and period authenticity.
Some minor wear and evidence of use are evident, particularly on the edges and backing, adding to its character. This quilt represents a valuable piece of textile history and traditional craftsmanship.
