Bidspirit auction | American Mid-Century Tied Scrap Quilt

American Mid-Century Tied Scrap Quilt in Thousand Pyramids Pattern - This utilitarian American scrap quilt is constructed as a tied comforter featuring a Thousand Pyramids pattern. The quilt top is composed of numerous cotton fabric scraps in various prints, including ginghams, stripes, polka dots, florals, and calicos. The piece is finished with a solid pink fabric border and a light pink patterned backing. Rather than traditional quilting stitches, the three layers are held together by regularly spaced green yarn ties. The construction reflects a traditional make-do folk art aesthetic from the mid-20th century. No maker labels or identifying marks are present. 86 inches (L) x 64.5 inches (W).
