Quilt (HOME 817)

red oak leaves and green elm leaves quilt

Red oak leaves and green elm leaves quilt. Apparently square but actually measures 31" x 32". Back shows no seams, but front appears to have been made by sewing four equal sizes together. Designs on all squares basically the same. Design appears to be a stylized conception of red oak leaves and green elm leaves. Background throughout is white and the back of the quilt is pure white. Diamond shaped quilting design, approximately 1/2" across, pervades the entire quilt.
