This cotton 1840's star of Bethlehem quilt is hand pieced and hand quilted, with wonderful sawtooth accents and unusual "tulips" at the tips of the satellite stars. The quilt measures a generous 88" X 92" and is in very good condition, with occasional age spotting, light surface dirt and no wear. I haven't tried to clean this one. The quilting is SUPERB, with quilting around and within the piecework and in close straight line and feathered wreath designs in the background, all at an even 8-10 stitches to the inch. Also in the quilting can be found the name "Mouser" and the date "1872," the most of the fabrics appear to be from the 1830-1860 era. The back is white, the hand stitched binding is indigo blue, and the batting is thin. You can see cotton seed residue inside when you hold the quilt up to the light.
