A beautifully timeworn quilt fragment, hand-stitched and full of subtle texture.

This antique textile features a classic diamond-in-square patchwork layout with softly faded blocks in pink, blue, orange, yellow, and lilac, set against a pale ivory ground. The hand-stitched quilting creates a rhythmic grid that gently puckers the fabric and draws attention to its pieced past. Each small square holds a patterned print, from bright orange geometrics to worn florals and indigo solids. The reverse side shows a pale blush ground with seam lines and age-softened wear.

Its gently rumpled surface and timeworn colour shifts speak to years of use and care, perfect for collectors, textile artists, or those who love pieces with quiet stories stitched in.
