41 BEAUTIFULLYAPPLIQUED VINTAGE SCOTTIE DOG QUILT BLOCKS

This auction is for a set of 41 vintage quilt blocks of calico scottie dogs appliqued onto squares of unbleached muslin.  Each block measures approximately 10 inches by 9-1/2 inches. To my examination, each of the calicos used to make the blocks is different.  The blocks are all very neatly sewn and overall in very good vintage condition.  Each scottie it outlined in black embroidery stitches, and additional embroidery stitches make up the collars, eyes, eyelashes, noses, and whiskers.

The calicos are bright and vibrant in color, as you can see from the photos.  Some of the muslin pieces have yellowed slightly around the edges, but generally they are in very good condition for their age.  I see several blocks that have small brown marks, and one block that has pencil marks.  I have included photos of these.  I have made no attempt to launder or iron the blocks, and they are in the same condition as when I purchased them about 40 years ago.

These blocks would make a wonderful vintage quilt.  I have been very reluctant to part with them, because of the absolute charm of the scotties, and the beautiful bright colors of the calicos.

I have tried to photograph and describe this item as accurately as I can.  All sales are final unless we mutually agree an error has been made.

Payment is due within three days of the end of the auction.  No shipment to any area located outside of the continental United States.  The shipping charge is for a USPS priority mail envelope.
