Vintage 1930s Northern Lights Quilt – Scrappy Hand Pieced & Quilted – 80 x 89

This vintage mid-to-late 1930s Northern Lights quilt is a lovely example of Depression-era scrap quilting with interlocking radiating starbursts pieced across a soft buttercream background. The fabrics include:
* Classic 1930s feedsack florals and ditsy prints
* Cheerful polka dots, stripes, and small geometrics

The back is white cotton while the quilt has been knife-edge finished and hand-stitched closed. f
