Early 20th Century Quilt With Hand-Stitched Mattlasse Detail –

This fresh-looking summer-weight quilt, with its beautiful quilt pattern and elaborate hand stitching, was discovered in Marin County, CA. It was lovingly hand-stitched and meticulously quilted with a leafy mattelasse pattern overall, mostly white with solid peach and a yellow ditsy print. It has been carefully stored, and faint pencil guide marks remain. The fabrics appear to be from the 1930s or 40s.
