Circa 1890
Cottons
Wonderful, Unusual Color
The woman who used this very cool black and white printed fabric
for her alternate blocks made a great choice.
"Variable Stars" is a traditional and oft-made American pattern,
and is typically made of sewing scraps, as here.
But by adding that handsome, lively fabric
and framing the quilt in another black and white cotton print,
she made this common pattern her own.
A "quilty-quilt" with a personal twist!
The quilt has been washed recently and is in very good condition.
Hand quilted, simply and evenly at 5 to 6 stitches per inch
(counting one side only).
