Here's an old authentic turkey red embroidered redwork quilt block or square.  Dating from the early part of the 1900s - 1920s, the muslin square features a water lily pad motif. 

Size of the block is 17" x 18".  Certainly a size that would finish into a pillow nicely.  Never laundered, the redwork color is bright and crisp. 

Condition is very nice, although just  a couple of dots of oxidation from storage.
