Quilt Taking the Railroad Back to Gentler Times with set of 2 matching Pillowcases 021208QPC

A custom made quilt using two traditional patterns Railroad Crossing and Sickle. The size is 73in x 63in.

The name of the quilt is Taking the Railroad Back to Gentler Times. Railroad Crossing is a very old quilt pattern. It was first published in Farm & Fireside in 1884. It was called the New Four Patch.

There are two secondary patterns that stand out in this quilt. Secondary patterns emerge when two patterns are put together and they create another pattern. It depends on where your eye lands in the quilt which you see first. Do you see the original patterns or the secondary patterns?

The fabrics are 100% cotton. The batting is 50% bamboo and 50% cotton. The bamboo content provides a softer product than all cotton. Bamboo owns a unique anti bacterial ability. Bamboo is biodegradable.

Two matching Decorator Pillowcases are included with purchase.

The backing was created from two fabrics. A soft green flannel check and the Gentler Times fabric which was used as the outer border on the front.

The quilting is an edge to edge meander using a neutral colored thread.

The binding is a rose colored print and was applied using a decorative machine stitch.
