Description:
Fragments of the pink glazed worsted quilt, 1957.065.02.36a. Four fragments come from the right corner that was cut out of the quilt: two large (7" x 9") triangles and small triangle (3.5" x 3.5") match the quilt's fabrics of durant on one side and shalloon on the other and also match the quilting pattern, while one piece of shalloon (7" x 1") in which the quilting stitches have been picked out, matches the quilt's shalloon. The remaining pieces are from the left cut-out corner, as they match the durant which was used on both sides of the quilt in that area.
