This quilt came to me for a wash. The wash brightened it up, but did not remove the staining. (The stains are more obvious in real life than in the photo.) It is one of a pair of twin-sized quilts. Sadly, the second quilt is pretty severely stained.
The pattern is called Attic Windows. It's a great way to use scrap fabrics and one's imagination. The scraps become little glimpses of the world outside the tiny windows. Consistent shading of the window frames will create the illusion of depth.
It is one of those wonderful quilts that is dated. The date is embroidered on one of the back corners - June 22, 1959. So these windows also give us a glimpse into the fabrics available in the late 1950s. This is particularly fun for me, because this is the world of fabric, as it were, into which I was born.
