Evanston WY. USA



Vintage depression era 1930-40's. touching star quilt. Looks like

some feed sack prints in there too. 

Hand quilted.



85 yr old aunt had just been moved to rest home. 

This quilt was found in a basement trunk. It was wrapped up in an draw string cotton dry cleaning bag, still wrapped in wedding paper.



Must have been made for or given as a wedding gift.



4' '7" x 5' 9"

Covers a full size mattress with about a 6" drop. 



Excellent condition,

No wear

No tears

No stains.

100% perfect hand stitching.



Calico and floral prints

Mostly pastel

No two stars are the same....



I having been using for show in the guest bedroom. I've rinsed it twice, in a tub of cold water just to get the dust off. 



Perfect!
