This is an ABSOLUTE masterpiece! This is an American Antique quilt made and completed in 1957 by Anna M. Bauscher. We know this because she has hand embroidered her signature and date into the quilt and we have saved this in the inside front panel. This piece is museum-worthy for its masterful hand quilting and hand applique stitches. This was a popular quilt kit made by Paragon and highlighted by Good Housekeeping Magazine in the 50's. Anna was a master maker. Her points are crisp, and her hand applique stitches are meticulous. Her choice of matching cornflower blue backing fabric(inside of jacket) is striking. This can best be appreciated when the cuffs are rolled. This quilt is in excellent condition and it was a privilege to work worth. In our opinion this piece is super soft, thin, light weight and has a good drape. This is very rare colorway for this quilt patter, it is normally made in gold and white and we have never seen it in blue. This is a Lady Lancaster 10/10. Please note there is a little color bleaching on one of the front stars. If you have further questions, please direct message us and we are happy to send you a video.
