{"product_id":"quilt-145","title":"Comet Stars Quilt… A Missouri State Quilt Block","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique outstanding design, one not frequently seen in the 2 color format, is a beauty. This is a New York quilt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe graphic colors of red and cheddar on a natural ground make this design a winner and quite a bold design. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy understanding that this is a traditional 8 pointed Star combined with a distinct piece that resembles a trailing comet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is now attributed and called “The Missouri State Quilt Block”,,, the quilt pattern honoring Mark Twain. As a famous quote” I came in with Halley’s  Comet .. it will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with it”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey attribute the pattern to the relationship to Halley’s  Comet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI gave this beauty its first bath and then it was air dried. The overall condition is excellent with only minor residual spots that are not significant in any way. No wear noted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis quilt is all had quilted and love the clamshell quilting in the ground areas and the tiny hand quilting done in diamonds in the red 4 point star. The smaller stars are quilted by the piece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA circa 1880’s quilt that has a sleeve on the back edge. So it appears this quilt was displayed by a previous owner\/collector. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dimensions 77x79 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cindy's Antique Quilts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50362722549953,"sku":"Q-2950","price":675.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/4521\/0305\/files\/IMG_3671.jpg?v=1782624514","url":"https:\/\/cindysantiquequilts.com\/products\/quilt-145","provider":"Cindy's Antique Quilts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
