Cotton Scrap Quilt with Red Motif
64 x 90 inches. A large scale handmade scrap quilt featuring a variety of mid-20th century printed cotton fabrics. The quilt top is constructed in a variation of the Fans or Crazy Patch Circle pattern, composed of quarter-circle segments joined to form prominent full circles. These circular motifs are primarily executed in solid red or red-patterned fabrics, creating a high-contrast focal point against a multi-directional background of plaid, striped, and checked patches. The textile incorporates a diverse range of shirting and feed sack style fabrics consistent with utility quilts of the 1940s and 1950s. The construction features hand-quilting in a simple grid and contour pattern throughout. The bottom edge is finished with a wide floral border on a pink ground. The backing is composed of a central white cotton panel featuring a small red print, flanked by broad borders of various plaid and striped fabrics. No maker marks or signatures are present.
