Stunning Antique Cigar Silk Quilt with Calico Fabric Back boston artist with a ribbon on one

with a ribbon on one side

Stunning Antique Cigar Silk Quilt with Calico Fabric Back boston artist with a ribbon on oneThis is the third cigar silk quilt I've had in the shop, and I'll keep snatching them up when I find them as I think they are completely stunning. How wise and resourceful of it was for women not to let cigar silks ribbons go to waste, especially brilliant gold ones like these. (Meanwhile, their fathers or husbands were cutting and carving up the cigar boxes to make tramp art frames and the like.) I love the range of silks incorporated into this one,
