This item is a handmade patchwork quilt, measuring approximately 17 inches by 19 inches, crafted with a variety of fabric scraps. The front side features numerous rectangular pieces of cotton and calico fabrics in multiple colors and patterns, arranged in a scrappy block design. Visible throughout are florals, stripes, and geometric prints, suggesting a careful selection of repurposed materials.
The quilt backing is a pink fabric adorned with a repeating small floral motif. The tactile texture of the stitching and fabric edges confirms its handmade quality. These small quilts are often considered lap, crib, or doll quilts and evoke an era of resourceful textile traditions.
The small size, patchwork technique, and variety of antique and reproduction fabrics contribute to its unique character and charm for collectors of folk art and Americana textiles. The piece exhibits wear consistent with age and practical use.
