Twelve Quilts of Christmas – #2

Ask me about my favourite star quilt and this one comes immediately to my mind.  I have loved it since I first saw it 25 years ago.

 

Center Star Quilt, Maker Unknown, New England, 1815 to 1825, Glazed wool, 100 1/2" x 98"

Bold.  Simple.  Heart stopping.  And exquisite quilting to boot!

 

Enjoy!

    Awesome in every way! And surprisingly large for that timeframe!

    This is gorgeous! How timeless this is! Change the quilting design and it would be considered modern?! Love this version the best though!!

    Wow! Stunning color and composition. I’ve seen it before, but I appreciate it better now. My favorite color in quilts is yellow-orange and this is close. Thank you for showing us this quilt.
