Vanne boutis, this style of boutis was frequently made for a marriage and is intended to lay on top of a bed. To my very great pleasure, this one is now living at my house !
Each corner has the same basket depicted
There are wonderful garlands with flowers along each side
Here you can see the oval borders with channels stuffed
The central oval motif with straight channel filling
Recently I acquired a boutis which has been on my wish-list for a long time: a vanne size approx. 143 cm x 161 cm, with my favorite kind of motifs and style. I would date this about mid 19th Century, but it may be a little earlier than that. It is cotton, the cotton on the back is a slightly looser weave, and you can see some remaining "holes" from passing the cotton yarn stuffing. The straight edge is finished with a hem, and it is in excellent condition. I still need to spend more time studying this quilt, but for now, here are some pictures. The overall design is symmetrical, with each corner motif repeated 4 times, oval garlands surrounding oval borders.
