This American patchwork quilt is executed in the classic Double Wedding Ring pattern. The design features interlocking circular bands constructed from a diverse assortment of multicolored cotton fabric scraps, including printed calicos, ginghams, stripes, and solids, all set against a white cotton ground. The piece is hand-pieced and hand-quilted with white thread. The quilting pattern follows the arcs of the interlocking rings and incorporates a four-lobed floral or leaf motif in the center of the white circular fields. The quilt is finished with a decorative scalloped edge bound in a solid red cotton fabric. The reverse side is composed of a plain white cotton backing. The selection of printed fabrics is characteristic of textile production from the 1930s and 1940s. 76x86
