American Hand-Appliqued and Hand-Quilted Cotton Floral Motif Quilt - 76 x 76 This American applique quilt is constructed from cotton and features a classic red and green color palette on a white ground. The quilt is composed of sixteen square blocks arranged in a four-by-four grid. Each block contains a hand-appliqued motif consisting of a stylized central green stem that branches out to support multiple small red flowers with scalloped edges and green leaves. Small red buds or calyxes are present at several stem junctions. The entire piece is densely hand-quilted with a complex background pattern featuring a grid of squares overlaid with diagonal lines and inscribed circular elements. The reverse is made of plain white cotton fabric constructed from at least four joined panels, displaying the hand-stitched quilting lines.
