Q9000 Feathered Star in a Garden Maze c.1870 80 x 102 (203.2 x 259.1 cm) PA $1,600 This 19th century red, white and blue quilt in the beloved Feathered Star pattern is exceptionally clean, bright, and graphic. Gorgeous 12 inch feathered stars are offset by a lovely 2 inch wide blue with white polka dots garden maze on a solid white background. 'Feather' triangles measure a mere 7/8 inch per short side and are hand pieced as is each star block. The wide 8 inch white border and the maze are treadle sewing machine pieced. Lovely hand quilting includes outline and echo outline in the star blocks and maze, with floral vines in the white areas within the garden maze. A six bar cable is beautifully hand quilted in the wide white border which may have been added later. The backing is the same white cotton used on the front which folds to the back forming the scant 1/4 inch hand stitched binding. A patriotic beauty in excellent condition, this quilt was used and lovingly cared for. In a wonderful large size it would make a stunning visual graphic for your bed. It has been professionally hand washed by Betsey and can be sent to you on approval for private viewing. |

CON HT31 Garden Maze with LeMoyne Stars c.1835 84 x 86 (213.4 x 218.4 cm) NY or CT $3,400 A fabulous and very early cotton star spangled cotton quilt. Sixty four red and white calico LeMoyne stars measuring 5 1/2 inches each float inside a garden maze of the same fabric. The ground is a gorgeous light Prussian blue and white tiny calico print. Entirely hand stitched of course, as well as hand quilted in outline stitching throughout. The scant 1/4 inch hand applied binding is in the same red and white calico used for the maze and stars. The backing is a brown, rust and white plaid cotton overprinted with stylized flowers in dark brown. See detail image. A superbly executed quilt in a wonderful two color palette that absolutely pops visually. The maker had a fine eye for graphic art and chose her fabrics well. This would not have been a scrap quilt but made with purchased fabric specifically chosen for this quilt leading Betsey to believe the maker was from a well-to-do family. Special detailing includes careful cutting of the fabric in many of the stars so the same printed pattern is repeated in every diamond shaped piece – very lovely. This is a very striking, well executed quilt that simply demands attention and admiration. In excellent condition, this quilt would be perfectly exquisite on a bed or as a piece of stunning graphic art for your wall. Professionally hand washed by Betsey it is ready to send to you on approval for private viewing in your home. Please ask her for more details. |
