American Handmade Quilt
American art, a beautiful handmade quilt with multi-colored wheel designs. Each wheel is made of 17 individual hand applied pieces of vintage fabric to make the wheel, sewn with a yellow circle center. Each sewn to the creamy yellow background, with bright yellow edging. Near one of the wheels there is a stain that I think was blood when the quilter stuck her finger, it is faint, about an inch long, 1/2" wide. Probably made in the 50s, has been laundered. In very good condition. No odors. Textiles vintage fabric quilt quilts quilt
