“Cute As A Button”

"Cute As A Button" by Mary Elizabeth Kinch, 2013

“Cute As A Button” – “C’est Mignon Comme Tout”
Pieced and hand quilted by Mary Elizabeth Kinch, 2013

 

This quilt is a slightly smaller version of the Dennis Cann Double-sided Cot Quilt, circa 1890-1900 (part of the collection at the Quilt Museum and Gallery in York, England).  To say that I had fun making it is an absolute understatement!!  My version finishes approximately 20″ x 23″.

 

You can have fun making it too.  You will find the pattern in this season’s issue of Simply Vintage:

Happy Stitching!
