THIS AUCTION:

This is an Exceptional quilt and would call it museum quality if the blue fabric weren't faded.  Have a look at the pictures of this grand appliqué!  It's 89 inches by 79 inches and pretty much totally covered with flower pot, flower and vine appliqué.  All hand quilted and hand pieced with a very high stitch count of 9 to 10 per inch.  The blue fabric has a tie-dyed look to it and has not deteriorated, so it makes an unusual effect.  There are numerous tiny brown rust type spots, so it could use a cleaning.  The only odor it has is a light moth ball smell.
Original price was $895.
