Description
Here is a set of nine quilt blocks in the Tulip pattern, #765.01 as shown in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns compiled by Barbara Brackman. Pattern is categorized as a Realistic Flower Block. The design is from the Old Chelsea Station Needlecraft Service. This mail order company handled patterns from Alice Brooks and Laura Wheeler.Each block is machine pieced and measures approximately 7 1/2" to 8" square. Fabrics are cotton and include patterns from the 1880 - 1910 time period including small flowers in double pinks, a white shirting with pink stripe and muslin.
Blocks are generally clean, although the muslin shows some spotting and discoloration and I noted a soiled area on one shirting print.
These will need some work before setting. They are not square and some of the triangles may need to be adjusted to allow for a standard 1/4" seam allowance.
Included along with the blocks are a few pieces of the double pinks and a different, but similar shirting fabric.
All of the blocks are pictured in the collage photo.
Item does not include any templates or instructions.
When working with vintage fabric, blocks, tops or quilts, prior quilting and piecing experience is helpful. Pieces were not rotary cut and cutting templates and patterns may not have been square. Pieced items may not be flat. Vintage items may have a musty or storage odor.
