What wonderful prints used in these fun and graphic treadle machine pieced blocks. Large scale white stars on medium blue is paired with a black on white cotton print we, at first glance, thought was Saturn...take a look at the detail image. These great blocks were sewn together and made into a tied quilt at some point in their life and the treadle machine stitching lines are still visible approximately ¼” from the edge. There are some errant threads left behind as seen in the images which we have since removed! Lovely, clean condition.
