Solid orange on an indigo background give this Touching Stars quilt a lot of impact. In addition to the LeMoyne Stars, one can also diamonds between the Stars as well as squares between them making for additional patterning. It is probably Mennonite in origin. The quilt is in excellent, probably unwashed condition. There is a slightly faded area about 1 1/2" wide in one place on the indigo border but no other apologies.The back is a different solid orange. The outer indigo border is quilted with a zigzag pattern and a cable throughout the orange inner border. Measurements are 74" square. Made circa 1900; Mifflin County, Pennsylvania origin.
