Avaree Dickerson

Double Wedding Ring Quilt, 1960-1970
cotton, 90 x 77 inches, 70.36.51

This hand quilted and pieced patchwork design quilt utilizes cotton fabrics, some of which have strong 1960’s colors and motifs. At the intersection of each “ring” Dickerson used non-pattern material in the colors of yellow, pink and green to accent the multicolored rings. The perimeter is unframed and scalloped and bound in white. The backing and ground of quilt is white as well.
