Commissioned in 1975 as a custom work for a child's room, this one-of-a-kind hand-quilted wall hanging is an exceptional example of vintage American fiber art.
Measuring approximately 40 x 60 inches, the composition features a whimsical white rabbit nestled among oversized flowers in an imaginative garden. Extensive hand quilting, dimensional appliqué, padded floral elements, and yo-yo blossoms create remarkable texture and sculptural depth. Designed from the outset as a wall hanging, it includes sewn hanging tabs on the reverse for immediate display.
Unlike a traditional bed quilt, this piece functions as textile art and makes a striking decorative statement in a nursery, family room, cottage, or eclectic interior. The vibrant colors and handcrafted details reflect the creativity and craftsmanship of the studio craft movement of the 1970s.
The wall hanging has remained with the original family who commissioned it and has been stored in protective plastic for decades. It is offered for sale for the first time.
