A full-size quilt, pieced and quilted entirely by hand, in a pattern of square blocks set on point. The fabrics are a 1970s mix of small calico prints in rust, mustard, olive, dusty pink and cream, the kind of dresses and shirts that ended up in a scrap bag. You can count around ten stitches to the inch in the quilting, which runs in a gentle fan pattern across the whole top.

It is about 80 in by 90 in, backed in plain unbleached cotton. Two patches have faded more than the rest and one seam has come loose for about an inch, an easy mend. It has been washed gently and smells clean. Open to offers, as long as it goes on a bed and not in a closet.
