Stars, stars, stars...loved by so many for centuries and a favorite of
quilters also for centuries.
This pattern is also called a LaMoyne Star. Comprised of 6 inch Star
blocks alternating with a wonderful double pink solid block. These
blocks "on point" add another design factor to this slightly
sophisticated design. The center square of each star is an overdyed
green created around 1870.
The colors for each star range from matter dyed red, light blue, pink,
red, tan and beige. The quilt is entirely hand pieced and hand quilted.
The separately applied 3/8" binding is in a comparable blue vine and
leaf design. The backing is a fabulous design of flowers and vines on a
light mustard. This fabric was from the 1920's. Because of this we know
that the top was created about 40 years before it was quilted. Did a
descendant of the pieced quilt top finish this?
Now organically hand washed and ready to be sent for your approval.
