She measures 73x86. $269\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eIt is another excellent example of Appliqué work, where the floral motifs are hand-stitched onto a solid white background. While your previous floral quilt was very colorful and \"mod,\" this one follows a much more traditional, formal aesthetic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eKey Pattern Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe Quad-Symmetrical Motif: Each block features four \"buds\" or \"blossoms\" radiating from a central diamond-shaped hub. This four-way symmetry is a hallmark of mid-19th-century appliqué quilts, often seen in the Whig Rose or Rose of Sharon families.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eColor Palette: The combination of burnt orange, deep plum\/magenta, and forest green is a classic \"earth tone\" palette. This specific trio of colors was very popular in quilts from the late 1800s, though it saw a major revival in the 1970s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eBy leaving so much white area, the individual floral motifs become the focal point, giving the quilt a sophisticated, airy feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eWhy the Quilting is Special:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eTake a close look at the white background. It features dense, diagonal line quilting (sometimes called \"Matchstick\" or \"Slant\" quilting).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThis serves two purposes: it makes the quilt very durable by securing the batting tightly, and it creates a gorgeous, rippled texture that makes the flat appliqué flowers appear as if they are \"floating\" or raised off the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThe level of detail in the stitching suggests this was a very high-quality piece intended for a formal bedroom or a special occasion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eSome tanning\/minor marks still remains and one block with some fraying in the burgundy. The tiniest of stitches adorn the hand quilting expertise. Estimated from late 1800's. She displays wonderfully, very thin.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"html-div x14z9mp x1lziwak xexx8yu xyri2b x18d9i69 x1c1uobl x9f619 xjbqb8w x78zum5 x15mokao x1ga7v0g x16uus16 xbiv7yw x1xmf6yo x12nagc x1n2onr6 x1plvlek xryxfnj x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xdt5ytf xqjyukv x1qjc9v5 x1oa3qoh x1nhvcw1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quiltventures at Trinity Lodge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41571952820357,"sku":null,"price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/6971\/2005\/files\/IMG_7482.jpg?v=1775502702","url":"https:\/\/3ctrnj-wm.myshopify.com\/products\/antique-apple-blossom-style-vintage-quilt-cirica-late-1800s","provider":"Quiltventures at Trinity Lodge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
