BTG68 Touching Stars Quilt
c.1925sbr>
74 x 84 inches
North Shore, Massachusetts
$1,800
There are not many people who do not love stars! They are actually one
of the most loved patterns of the 19th and early 20th century and once
again today here is a beautifully executed C.1925 quilt created in
a much loved 19th century pattern. Even the colors are
transitional....from the dark 19th century and early twentieth century
colors to the deep Lavender that was the rage in the 1920's. There are
dozens and dozens of different calicoes, stripes and plaids used in the
formation of the stars. There are 30 stars in all which are joined by a
7" off white block with a La Moyne Star pattern echoing the quilted star
pattern. One can see the pattern of placement of the stars was a
carefully planned placement of colors. Most of the fabrics are pre 1925.
All diamonds are outline quilted, borders are either crosshatch quilted
or straight line quilted. The quilting stitches are small and
beautifully executed.
Sides of each diamond measure 1-3/4", the double border consists of 3"
white, 3" of deep lavender and finished with a 1/4" applied binding.
The overall effect of this quilt is stunning! Now organically washed by
Betsey, this, what appears to be unused quilt, is ready to be sent for
your at home approval.
