Description
"Sunflower" pattern quilt The quilt's main ground is composed of a 5 by 6 grid of pieced blocks, each of which contains an appliqued sunflower with a brown center and 12 petals in two shades of yellow against the white ground. The two-stripe border uses the same two yellows; its edge is scalloped and tape-bound in a third, darker yellow. Hand-quilted in squares over a very thin batting. "Magee" stamped in one corner.
