I’ve been contacted by a quilter who is looking for the owner of this very unique item. Kathleen Bell wrote: “Does anyone recognize this two-sided quilt? It was given to me (Kathleen Bell) by a person who had no idea of its origin. It was most likely picked it up at a thrift store in Florida. It has no label.
This quilt is the quiltmaker’s original design, measuring 49” by 62”.
The quilt has definite Asian influences, with pandas and dragon embellishments and silk as well as cotton navy blue, red and multi-colored fabrics used. Of the quilt Kathleen said, “ I hate to see some persons history get lost. If it is truly lost I would like to help find its way home.” If you have any information to share, Kathleen can be reached at kathaabell@comcast.net
I have one very much like it. I bought it in China where they are made mainly for tourists.
