What a find! Crisp and beautiful, this pair of lovingly executed all cotton Broken Star quilts are in perfect unused condition and ready to grace your home. They are executed in vibrant, solid fabrics and showcase amazing Southwest colors. This quilt’s classic pattern and color palette totally transcends all decors; it would work equally as well in a modern home as in a traditional one.

Beautiful quilting accentuates the design and skill of the quilt maker and includes wreaths in the 9 ½ inch white blocks surrounding the center medallion, feathers in the four white corners and diagonal lines set one inch apart in the 5 ½ inch white border. Colors in the broken star are solid blue, green, red, white, apricot and mauve. Solid white backing turned from the back to front forms a hand stitched ½ inch binding.

A pair of pristine quilts that have so much going for them – strong graphic appeal, superb use of color, wonderful quilting and perfect condition. The quilt maker’s name will be made available to the buyer.
