Star of Bethlehem Quilt

About the Item

Surrounding stars set in squares are an unusual variation. Quilted mostly with patterns of circles that are a nice counterpoint to the straight lines of the pieced pattern. Professionally laundered; pristine condition. Pennsylvania origin; circa 1860. Measures 84" square.
