Mid-Late 20th C. Scrap Patchwork Quilt Top - 66 x 88 This is a vintage American folk art utility quilt top, likely dating from the 1960s through the 1980s. The piece is hand-assembled from a wide variety of rectangular and square fabric remnants in an eclectic mix of natural and synthetic fibers, including cotton calicos, solids, ginghams, stripes, and novelty prints. Notable patterns featured in the patches include floral motifs, butterflies, and stylized elephant figures. The construction utilizes machine stitching in a loose, non-geometric scrap patchwork style typical of domestic utility textiles. This item consists of the quilt top only and is unfinished, lacking batting, backing, or binding.
