Sweet hand-appliqued and embroidered pansies on white and purple patchwork quilt. Truly a rare and lovely find! </em></td>

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

I do not claim to be an expert in antique, heirloom quilts but I believe that this treasure 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 the third 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.
