Description

This piece is a beautiful example of traditional “tied” quilting, offering a more rustic and handmade feel than standard machine-quilted blankets.

  • Victorian Artistry: The quilt showcases 15 individual cream-colored patches, each featuring an embroidered lady in a unique, highly detailed dress. The thread colors rotate through shades of emerald green, royal blue, sunset orange, and deep pink, giving each “lady” her own distinct personality.

  • Unique Fabric Pairings: The sashing (the fabric between the blocks) features a bold, marbled pattern in shades of lavender and periwinkle. This modern, swirling print provides a striking contrast to the more traditional and delicate embroidery of the central blocks.

  • Hand-Tied Accents: Instead of traditional dense quilting stitches, this quilt is accented with small pink yarn ties at the corners of each block.
  • Gradient Satin Border: The quilt is framed with a wide, ruffled satin border that features a beautiful color melt from soft peach to a rosy pink
