Mid-20th Century Hand-Appliqued and Hand-Quilted Cotton Basket Motif Quilt - 60 x 72 A mid-20th-century American applique quilt featuring a repeating basket motif. The central field contains baskets in alternating upright and inverted orientations, hand-appliqued onto a solid white cotton ground. These basket elements are fashioned from navy blue, chocolate brown, and lavender polka-dot printed cotton fabrics. The border consists of a white cotton fabric printed with blue floral medallions and grey scrollwork. The quilt is finished with a narrow, light blue binding. The assembly is entirely hand-quilted, featuring parallel vertical and horizontal running stitches that create a grid pattern across the field. The backing is a single piece of solid white cotton fabric.
