Bidspirit auction | A Pieced and Quilted Cotton
A Pieced and Quilted Cotton Textile with Toile-Style Landscape Panels - This quilted textile, likely a bedspread or throw, features a complex pieced design. The front is composed of repeating octagonal panels displaying monochromatic toile-like pastoral or genre scenes in blue-grey on a light ground, depicting figures, animals (such as sheep and cattle), and architectural elements. These central panels are visually consistent with patterns found in commercially available fabrics, such as those identified as 'Upholstery Landscape Stark Pecan Graystone'. The panels are interspersed with smaller square or rectangular patches featuring delicate floral patterns in pinks, reds, and greens on a dark blue background, as well as blue and white striped and checkered fabrics. The edges are finished with a blue and white striped border on the sides and a wider blue and white checkered border along the top edge. The reverse side is a plain, light cream or pale yellow cotton fabric with visible quilting stitches forming an irregular geometric pattern. The item is made of cotton.
