This is a dramatic and unusual variation of a Lone Star Pattern. The triangles, or feathers, around each arm of the star is an unusual feature that makes the quilt appear to pulsate. A quilted wreath frames each of the LeMoyne Stars. Many quilting patterns are used throughout the piece, all finely stitched. A variety of mid-19th century printed fabrics are harmoniously combined to offer a pleasing blend of light and dark. The quilt has been professionally laundered and is in excellent condition. Measurements are 80" x 82"; Pennsylvania origin. Made circa 1850.
