               my mom had a
               quilt like that






























































               Carolina Lily Baskets The gray sash is a color consistent with the age of 1890’s "mourning print," consistent
               with a few patches of fugitive green. Purchased at Puyallup, WA antique show 62½"x71" Fabric: Cotton.
               Batting: Cotton. Backing: Cotton muslin. Edge: 1" wide binding by hand on two edges; 2½" border on two
               ends. Piecing: By hand; sashes by machine. Quilting: By hand, 5 stitches to the inch, in diagonal lines in
               sets of two ½" apart close to motifs, single lines ¾" apart in the remainder of the field. Condition: Very good.
               Comment: The vendor told me that she bought the quilt to cut up, but decided it was not a cutter, and sold
               it instead.
                                                                                  Figure 19: Carolina Lily Baskets
