"Seashell and Sea Horse" Baby Crib Quilt and Wall Hanging
Peach and Green Color Scheme
Recently, I attended an auction and bought a box full of vintage sewing linens and items. This quilt was a partially finished project within this find. All the pieces were there and it was partially completed.
This one of a kind quilt is rough edged appliqued with sea horses and seashells. It has alternating blocks designed with what I gather to be a courtroom stepped log cabin style. I machine quilted this quilt and bound it with the backing fabric.
This quilt was created entirely with vintage fabric and batting. The colors are all peach and green. The back and binding is a peach with white polka dots.
This quilt measures: 471/2 inches tall by 36 inches wide. Perfect for a crib.
Along with the quilt was a partially made wall hanging panel. It has a single seashell on it and was finished in the same manner as the quilt. This wall hanging measures 17 x 17 inches square.
This is the way I found the quilt. In a box already pinned and ready to quilt! Sooooooo..... many pins!

Quilted and ready to bind. The back was long enough to fold over and use as the binding, so I trimmed it and trimmed the batting. Folded over the backing and machine embroidered the binding.
