Intricate hand quilting and the indian red just pops against the blues\/greens. I believe the top was made first as the backing is a flannel type fabric so incredibly soft to the touch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe measures 70x84. $249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a classic design that combines pieced geometric shapes with a representational image. While the \"flowers\" themselves (the red shapes) are often made using Appliqué, the basket base and the stems are traditionally pieced into the block.\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"_ap3a _aaco _aacu _aacx _aad7 _aade\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eKey Pattern Elements:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Basket Motif: The triangular base represents a woven basket holding a bouquet. In your quilt, the maker used a light blue and a vibrant green for the basket bases, creating a nice contrast.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn-Point Setting: Like your postage stamp quilt, these blocks are set \"on-point\" (diagonally). The large light-blue and green diamonds between the basket blocks are called setting triangles, and they give the quilt a sense of movement and flow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLily Flowers: The three-pointed red shapes are often referred to as Conventionalized Tulips or Lilies. This stylized, geometric take on flowers was very popular in the early to mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotable Details:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo-Tone Background: What makes this specific quilt unique is the shift from the green background at the top to the light blue background for the rest of the body. This might have been a deliberate design choice to represent a \"garden\" vs. the \"sky,\" or simply a creative way to use available fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntricate Quilting: If you look at the solid blue and green diamond sections, you can see beautiful circular and floral quilting motifs stitched into the negative space. This adds a layer of hidden detail that only becomes visible upon closer inspection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBold Binding: The thin red border (the binding) ties back to the color of the flowers, perfectly framing the entire piece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDM for more info. Our quilts are rarely perfect and our pricing reflects that. There are other much higher end sellers, we believe everyone should be able to afford these pieces of history!\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":"Quiltventures at Trinity Lodge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41571954262149,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/6971\/2005\/files\/IMG_7507.jpg?v=1775502867","url":"https:\/\/3ctrnj-wm.myshopify.com\/products\/classic-antique-carolina-lilly-vintage-quilt","provider":"Quiltventures at Trinity Lodge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
