               Birds in Flight 1880 to 1910. Collected at Yakima, WA in late 1980s or early 1990s. 74½"x 78" Fabric: Cotton.
               Batting: Thin cotton. Backing: Cotton calico. Edge: Hand made from the backing material and applied by
               hand. Piecing: Patches by hand, borders by machine. Quilting: By hand, in a pattern of three overlapping
               circles in each larger white triangle, along the seam lines in smaller triangles. Condition: Excellent. The
               quilted top appears unwashed. The back is soft, so not crisp and unwrinkled. Comment: Popular indigo
               and white combination. The vendor had purchased it from an elderly woman in Yakima. It had belonged
               to the seller’s mother and had always been in storage, never used.
                                                                                  Figure 367: Birds in Flight
