This is a 9 patch within a square pattern 1940's quilt. It is 72" x 84" in size and is in excellent condition. The squares are 8" with 3" laterals. It is machine pieced but hand quilted with 16 stitches per inch. It has a cotton batting and the backing is the same white fabric as used in the front of the quilt. From the feel of the fabric, it appears that this quilt may have never been used or laundered. This is one of several quilts that was obtained from a collection in Kentucky.
