Crazy Striped Blocks with Piano Key Edge 1900-1920, eBay purchase in 2012. 71"x79" Fabric: Wool, cotton, silk.
Batting: None discernible. Backing: Cotton print that alternates green stripes with floral stripes of rose on
white. Edge: The back is brought to the front ¼" and caught by hand. Piecing: By machine. Quilting: By
hand in rows l½" apart, parallel to the stripes, 6 stitches per inch. Most doesn’t show on top. Condition:
Very good. One white stripe is actually foundation showing where a silk has disappeared, and one silk in
the "keyboard" around the edge has shattered. Comment: Desirable for the dynamic design and piano key
edge.
