Scrappy Pine
Owned by Kelly Corbridge

Scrappy pines stand tall and proud in this 1890s version of the classic Pine Tree or Tree of Life. Originally, the beige solid in this quilt was a different shade altogether—green solids from the 19th century were notorious for their tendency to bleed, fade, or transform into brown or teal.
