A rectangular bed quilt composed of 20 blocks, each 15" square and pieced of solid yellow-gold, orange, pink, green, blue, and lavender cotton strips arranged around a center yellow-gold circle (or oval) in a fan-like design. The quilt blocks are joined together with hand stitching to form lantern-like motifs. The center field of the quilt is surrounded by three borders: an inner border of yellow-gold, a center border of orange, and an outer border of yellow-gold, each 3" wide and mitred at the corners. The edges are straight and finished with a 5/8" bias-cut solid orange binding attached by machine stitching on the front, brought to the reverse, and hand stitched. The batting is cotton (check if possible). The quilt is lined in yellow-gold cotton. The circular centers are quilted in diamond pattern, the rays are quilted in outline, the inner and outer borders are quilted in diamonds and the center border in floral designs (a flower in verical position). Quilting is by hand in yellow cotton thread using 18 stitches per inch (counting both top and bottom stitches).
