A beautiful pansy quilt, hand-stitched and hand embroidered in rich, lovely, harmonizing colors, with purple predominating. The fabric is cotton, and it is in somewhat delicate used condition with a few concerns that I will point out for you and have shown in the photos.

I do not claim to be an expert in antique, heirloom quilts but I believe that this probably could be reworked and/or restored, to keep it in one piece. There are some places where the fabric has frayed and is very thin. There is also one place, in one of the pansy squares, where there is a thru-and-thru hole, shown in photo. The cotton batting has pilled and is too thick in some places and absent in others.

All this being said, it is such a beautiful piece of artisanship that no matter whether it's restored, preserved, and hung on display, or used as a cutter to create other treasures, it is a pattern that is very seldom seen. <p> <p>
Please feel free to email with questions or to see more photos of this sweet treasure.
