ThIs PomEgrAnAtE BeaUtY..

This beauty was hidden inside another quilt..alot of times I take a risk when bidding on them and tend to look for a listing for a heavy quilt.
It took a while to loosen all the ties etc.from the ratty old wool quilt that was hiding her..but it was well worth it..there were very little worn spots
A simple coloring of double pinks and basic white..off white now that it has aged..I love how the quilting shows up so well with the pale not so busy background..

      This is the stem and simple leaves..also showing some of the applique...I am in looove.
Double pinks..I bet made for a young girl or wedding present?? Can anyone help guess its age??
