variable star



VARIABLE STAR

Unknown Quilt Maker
(Initialed "M H E")
Collected in California
70 x 78 inches
Circa 1900
Wools

 ~ HANDSOME ~

A very pleasing turn-of-the-20th-century pieced quilt  
made of lightweight wools.
The Variable Stars are small scale and plentiful ~ 
the quilt maker really knew how to use and distribute color 
to give life and sparkle to this beauty.
Her decision to frame the Stars with a plaid border is brilliant.

In Sturdy, Very Good Condition with a few small moth holes 
and one place where someone attempted a primitive darned repair. 
(See photos)

Tied, with a polished cotton back.

Initialed "M H E" ~ 
We wonder if those refer to the maker ...
or to the recipient of one very wonderful gift!
