Quilt Stand |
|
 |
2005 |
 |
The "Ichthus" quilt stand is made from Honduran mahogany with black walnut accents. Gently curving legs forming the sign of the fish are constructed of a seven-layer bentwood lamination. The quilt shown with the stand above was made circa 1915 by Bobbie's great-grandmother. On the left is a side view of the stand without the quilt. The crossmembers, also made of Honduran mahogany, are constructed in a triangular pattern for strength. |
