notes: label: Description
content: This pieced quilt consists of 5-inch blocks in the “Dutch Tile” or “”Diamond in the Square” pattern, set diagonally in 7-inch wide strips. These strips are separated by 7-inch strips of cotton printed in a series of geometric stripes. The fabrics are mainly geometric roller-printed cottons. The lining consists of three lengths of plain-woven ivory cotton. It is quilted 8 stitches per inch. The binding is a ½-inch (finished) straight strip of the same printed cotton used for the long dividing strips; seamed to the front, whipped to the lining. The variety of fabrics utilized contributes to the overall design of this quilt.
