Silk Crazy Patch Table Cover

Created as a table cover, this piece has a bold central design and a strongly "serrated" edge. The very prominent center of the quilt is a circle with embroidered large initials of the maker, "NK" in gold thread. This circle is surrounded by a larger circle that is divided into wedges, not unlike the traditional Dresden Plate" quilt design. The large circle sits within one large square, set "on point" and filled with random shaped ("crazy") pieces. These pieces have various decorative embroidered stitches over all of the seams. Quilt is finished off with large and small "crazy" squares, all set on point, making the edge appear serrated. The back is attached to the front at the edge in what is called a "knife edge" finish.
