Description
This DAZZLING cotton Pennsylvania Mennonite lone star quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted, consisting of an 1880's top finished in the 1910's-1920's era.
It measures 76" X 76" and is in excellent condition, with a couple of small, faint spots and no wear.
The quilting is superb, with quilting around the perimeter of each piece and in close cable and grid designs in the background, all at an even 10-11 stitches to the inch.
The back and hand stitched, rolled binding are the same complementary tiny floral print, and the batting is thin. A wonderful indigo print appears in the center and points of the star.
The classic Pennsylvania calicos, nice borders, and superb quilting make this turn of the century beauty stand out -- it would make a terrific wall hanging!
