Diamond In a Star or Flying Bats Quilt w/Prairie Points

An unusual pieced stars quilt with many diamond pieces making up the stars. This quilt also has a prairie point border. The condition of the quilt is excellent and there are a few minor nips in the prairie points edge only. All hand quilted at 6-7 spi. This pattern as noted is really called Flying Bats, but I did like the Diamond Stars name. It was unwashed when I acquired it and has had one bath. The piecing of the pattern is very different, so look at the close ups. Missouri

Blazing Star with Corner Stars and Border Quilt

This colorful stars quilt with borders is in excellent condition, mint- it is unused and never washed. Looks to be all hand pieced and hand quilted at 6 spi. To hand piece this pattern required lots of work, as there are lots of diamonds. The stars are quilted by the piece and the border has quilting throughout the pattern. There is an extra border on the 2 ends and something different was the 2 fabrics used for the binding, adding alittle uniqueness to the quilt., but then that is what makes quilts so special. We may wonder why the 2 fabrics , the red print and the yellow print,, as did she/he run out of fabric? There is an off white muslin backing. Displays well,,, fantastic pattern. Columbia, Missouri area.

Oklahoma Native American quilt-The Airplane Quilt

This quilt is from an Oklahoma Native American ladies trunk as was told to me. She was from Tallequah, Oklahoma. The pattern , the Airplane pattern was probably from one of Cappers weekly publications. Some of the publications that Cappers Weekly printed that included quilt patterns were Kansas Farmer, Cappers Farmer and several more. This quilt is in excellent condition, as it looked to be pretty much unused and now has had just one wash. It is hand quilted in the Baptist fan pattern at a 5 spi. Lots of feedsacks went into the making of this quilt. The separate pink binding was put on by hand. Airplane and Native American quilts are harder to come by and this is a good example of a quilt from the 1940's with that pattern. Oklahoma

Double Wedding Ring Quilt

Double Wedding Ring quilt(q-232) Circa 1930's, size 63x73. This different wedding ring quilt has some character , as the quilter first used a non-typical green ground and there is one block that really stands out , the cheddar and black block arcs. Maybe she just wanted to be different or didn't want the "perfect looking" quilt, or maybe just ran out of other fabrics,, if we only knew! Also, in the arcs of the rings, the maker sometimes alternated solids and sometimes used all prints. There are several feedsack fabrics used in the making of this quilt. The backing is solid pink. The pieces in the blocks are fairly small. It is all hand quilted at 4-5 spi. It has been rebound with old fabric and is whipped on by hand. I acquired this quilt in Missouri.
