- Description
- Crazy quilt made from asymmetrical patches in multiple colors of wool, synthetic, and cotton fabrics in printed and woven designs with embroidered embellishments using acrylic yarn in various colors. The yarn colors are brighter tones than the fabrics. There are several horseshoe shaped pieces with heavily embroidered decoration, with floral motifs prevalent throughout the embroidery as well. The quilt is backed with a large scale floral print in tones of pink on a tan ground. There is no inner layer and the top and back are only attached by the seam around the edge. A muslin sleeve is hand sewn to the back of one edge for hanging.
