An incredible pattern featuring a 4 block layout with a rare to find medallion center wreath with hearts. The blocks connect in the center to create the wreath.
A whig rose pattern and with the hearts, I believe this was made to be a wedding gift quilt.
Fabrics in overdye green and turkey red.

The finest hand quilting with feathers at 10 stitches per inch.
The applique is hand sewn.
