This bright and cheery quilt was made by the owner's great-grandmother. It is tied with thread to the back, which is pieced mostly of large solid turquoise and tan rectangles, with a few more Hawaiian print pieces in the mix as well. There is no batting.
Several of the seams have ripped open over time, and been stitched back together. In most cases, there wasn't enough fabric to actually recreate the seams, so the fabrics had just been stitched to the backing. The stitching was done with white thread, and with higgledy-piggledy stitches. Some of that stitching caught the back fabric in such a way that some large puckers were created. This photo shows one of the most damaged areas (and one of the smaller puckers).
