“Cute As A Button”
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!
