Turkey Red and Cheddar Mariner's Compass

This turkey red and cheddar mariner's compass is one of my mother's favourite quilts. Her mother machine pieced it on a treadle sewing machine. She hand quilted a daisy with 2 posies in the background corners surrounding the compass, using white quilting thread. The red border has the egg and dart motif quilted in it. The outside border has an undulating "U" shaped vine. This quilt has a very thin cotton batt with tiny brown seed flecks. The off-white cotton background fabric and backing is quite coarse in texture. In place of binding, the back is brought to the front and hand-stitched in place.
The right side of the quilt was in shadows at the quilt show, so the border looks very dark, but it is not dark in real life.
