A most stunning Star Quilt set on an early printed fabric ground.
This circa 1850’s pieced quilt includes so many fabrics from the time period that we don’t often get to see in American quilts.
The exquisite indigo with a green print, the chrome yellow, some madder red , the warm chocolate browns, the early butterscotch print in the diamonds, the totally fantastic pink print backing, so early.
And much more to delight in this quilt.
Another unique character of this beauty is the blocks on the one edge of the quilt.
The overall condition of this early wonder is quite good to excellent having some natural binding wear and a few age spots.
It is all hand quilted and the piecework is wonderful.
The backing is also an early print of the time.
This is one of those quilts that is much more stunning in person than images can show.
The dimensions are 72x83 on this New Hampshire quilt.
