~ HANDSOME ~
A very pleasing turn-of-the-20th-century pieced quilt
made of lightweight wools.
The Variable Stars are small scale and plentiful ~
the quilt maker really knew how to use and distribute color
to give life and sparkle to this beauty.
Her decision to frame the Stars with a plaid border is brilliant.
In Sturdy, Very Good Condition with a few small moth holes
and one place where someone attempted a primitive darned repair.
(See photos)
Tied, with a polished cotton back.
Initialed "M H E" ~
We wonder if those refer to the maker ...
or to the recipient of one very wonderful gift!
