Very RARE - it's a PAIR.....This "Flower garden" quilts are truly a work of art. It is a great example of this always popular and very collectible pattern. The quilt is entirely hand made. The hand quilting is quite intricate and precisely done. Details: The batting is thin. The entire quilt is made with tiny hexagon patches.

The center is green with bluish tint, the next ring is a solid pale yellow color, next ring is a delightful dainty floral pattern (wonderful examples of deco era fabric) and the outside ring is same as the center (green with bluish tint). The border is pink, which adds to the beauty and quality of this fabulous quilt. The hand quilting is gorgeous....one of the quilts is signed and dated on the back "Jackie Olmsted? - 1932). There are 86 "flowers" on the quilt, each of them consists of 37 pieces and measures approximately 9x9 inches.
