Mid-C. American Cotton Scrap Quilt
Sold for: $30
Description
71 x 86 inches. Several seam separations. An American patchwork quilt featuring a Lemoyne Star or eight-pointed star pattern. The construction is hand-pieced and hand-tied, characteristic of mid-20th-century folk art and utility quilts. The quilt is composed of a diverse assortment of cotton and cotton-blend scrap fabrics, including solid orange and yellow blocks, pink and white ginghams, and various multi-colored floral prints. The layers are secured with regularly spaced hand-tied knots of green yarn. The quilt is finished with a wide orange fabric border. The backing is constructed from a repurposed white cotton textile, possibly a tablecloth or bedspread, featuring a printed design of stylized orange sunflowers with green stems and leaves. No maker labels, signatures, or marks are present on the front or back of the textile.
