This striking vintage Blazing Star quilt dates to the mid-20th century (circa 1945–1955) and showcases a bold, graphic star pattern in soft blues, crisp white, and vibrant golden-orange cotton.
The quilt features repeating eight-pointed Blazing Star blocks, each carefully pieced and framed by pale blue setting triangles that create a beautifully balanced, geometric design across the entire surface. The palette is classic mid-century modern, while the hand-quilting is a mix of diamonds, interlocking diamonds and echo quilting of the patchwork.
The reverse is a solid white cotton, as is the binding that has been machine stitched to the front and hand-stitched to the back.
