I picked this quilt top up at an antique fair. The blocks are painted with state flowers.

I’ve never seem anything quite like it. It is beautifully done. Here are some of my favorite blocks.





It does have a bit of bleeding.


It is entirely hand pieced. It is about 53 by 70 inches. Arizona was the 48th state and became so in 1912. So this dates to sometime after that. Hawaii and Alaska are not included.

Not sure what this stain is.

Overall, it’s in good condition. I haven’t tried to clean it at all. You all know how I love hand quilting vintage tops, but I don’t see myself doing this one.
It’s been fun to study, but I think it’s time for it to find a new home.
If you would like to purchase this sweet piece, I’m asking $75 and that includes shipping within the US. No international sales. I can take payment by PayPal. Just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
Thanks and have a great day!

It’s beautiful! Hugs,
Textile painting was popular in the 1950s. There are 48 blocks so it was probably made before Hawaii and Alaska joined the union in 1959.
