Bidspirit auction | Cotton Bow Tie Pattern Patchwork

Cotton Bow Tie Pattern Patchwork Quilt - This handmade/hand-pieced cotton patchwork quilt features a traditional Bow Tie or Butterfly block pattern. The quilt top is constructed from a diverse collection of fabric remnants, including 1930s-style floral feed sack prints, mid-century ginghams, stripes, and vibrant 1960s-era floral calicos. Each block is composed of approximately 4-inch square components forming the bow tie motif, separated by a clean white cotton sashing that creates a grid aesthetic. The piece exhibits traditional hand-quilting throughout, utilizing a diamond-grid pattern that is clearly visible across the white cotton backing. The variety of prints suggests a scrap quilt construction made over time using a curated collection of vintage fabrics. No maker labels, signatures, or tags are present on the item. Measures: 70 x 77 inches The quilt is in fair to good vintage condition. The white fabric shows minor age-related yellowing and wrinkling from storage, though the binding remains intact with general handling wear consistent with age and use.
