Description
This is a hand-quilted and pieced cotton scrap quilt, likely dating to the mid-20th century. The quilt features a repeating Shoofly variation pattern arranged in a 5×6 grid, totaling 30 blocks. Each block is composed of a central white square with four triangular points fashioned from assorted scrap fabrics, including colorful plaids, ginghams, and small-scale calico floral prints. These blocks are set within a bold red sashing highlighted by teal-colored cornerstones. The textile is hand-quilted with visible running stitches in a diagonal grid pattern across the white fields and sashing. The reverse side is finished with a solid white cotton fabric. The quilt contains cotton batting. No maker’s marks or labels are present.
