               my mom had a
               quilt like that







































































               Delectable Mountain Early 1900s, estimating from red prints. Purchased from Fourth Corner Finds from
               Ashland, OR. 79"x103" Fabric: White cotton with two red prints. Batting: Thin. Backing: White cotton. Edge:
               The front is brought to the back and caught with extremely fine stitching. Piecing: By hand with extremely
               fine stitches. Quilting: In diagonal lines 1" apart, by hand, 7 stitches to the inch. Condition: The red print
               in the center star and first border outside the center has popped in uniform tiny pin-holes that were once
               probably a black on the red. Otherwise, solid. There is one ¼" brown spot in the white fabric near a corner.
               It might be washable; I haven’t tried.
                                                                                  Figure 345: Delectable Mountain
