Mary Nell Gasper Mid-20th C. Appliqued Floral - 76 x 90 This vintage American quilt features hand-stitched floral applique work on a cream-white ground. The design centers on a floral medallion composed of multi-petal pink blossoms, buds, and serrated leaves. A coordinating scrolling vine and flower border follows the perimeter, and the quilt is finished with a scalloped edge bound in pink fabric. The piece exhibits traditional hand-craftsmanship, including detailed outline quilting around the applique motifs and a dense diamond-grid quilting pattern throughout the background. The applique elements are executed in at least two distinct shades of pink fabric. A personalized fabric label is hand-sewn to the reverse corner, which reads Hand Made by Mary Nell Gasper.
