This miniature quilt is a great find with its wonderful design and palette of red, pink, blue and white solid colored cottons softly muted with age. A center star consists of red, blue and pink diamonds pieced into a large star and then appliqued onto a white ground. Four smaller pieced Ohio Stars in pink and blue are appliqued around the center medallion with larger partial stars appliqued in each corner. The overall effect is striking and graphic.

This wonderful doll quilt is treadle machine quilted with overall diagonal cross hatching spaced 5/8 inch apart. The backing is white cotton and the 1/2 inch applied white binding is treadle machine topstitched. This sweet quilt has been used but lovingly cared for and is in excellent condition. Professionally hand washed by Betsey, and ready for your enjoyment!
