This beautiful quilt is a treat for the eyes! 13 lovely floral appliques, plus 3 pieced blocks appliqued; one pieced basket, a Le Moyne star, and a Texas Star. All in beautiful 1930's colors (prints & solids) add life to any room. Embroidery in the basket give the date, 1936, and a name, Vadis Muse (maybe a Latin phrase?). All flowers are hand appliqued, some with buttonhole stitch, and hand embroidered, and the quilt is hand quilted in diagonal lines. All cotton fabric, back and batting. Size 62 in by 72 in, from Virginia. You can have an entire garden on your bed or wall with this quilt, from cactus to bluebells! Backing is white cotton. Quilt is in excellent shape except the red rose block, which has some stain and fade issues, as shown in detail photo.
