Design Source - Description | Antique pieces purchased at a car swap meet in the 1980's. Not complete. These pieces were very inconsistent in size and even shape. Not enough lavender fabric to complete. (it was originally set with lavendar background) After taking it halfway apart, I redrafted the melon shapes, used reproduction pieces to add the end pieces and then used the original lavender as one of the post colors and added the complimentary yellow posts. entirely hand pieced and quilted. |
