               my mom had a
               quilt like that



































































               Cactus Baskets Pattern from 1930’s. eBay purchase in 2013. 79½"x78" Fabric: Cotton. Batting: Thin if any.
               Backing: Cotton muslin. Edge: ½" red tape is applied by machine to the front and by hand on the back.
               Piecing: By machine. Quilting: By hand, in a 1" grid in white fields, a two inch grid over the baskets, in
               concentric triangles just inside the toothed border and in the outermost white border, 6 stitches to the inch.
               Condition: Very good. The fabric feels crisp and unwashed, but the back has many rust-colored speckles.
               There are 2 light age freckles at the tip of one basket and three at the tip of another in the lower right
               corner.
                                                                                  Figure 17: Cactus Baskets
