This is a cheerful and beautifully hand-crafted Star of the East quilt dating to the 1940s and featuring a repeating field of vibrant starburst blocks in pink and yellow, accented with soft green leaves on a creamy white ground.
The hand-quilting is exquisite and is in feathers along the four-sided border and in the sashing and in the outlines of the patchwork of the stars.
The back is white cotton as is the binding that has been machine-stitched to both sides. The cotton batting is very lightweight.
CONDITION: The quilt is in excellent vintage condition with small seam separations/minor fraying (see photos)
