Exquisite vintage 6-pointed star quilt
This exquisite vintage quilt has been offered up by a local 89-year old widower, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Sarah's Bag Ladies. We are very grateful for the owner's generosity! Our goal is to sell at least $500 in raffle tickets. Please help us make this happen by sharing this raffle with your friends!
This quilt was pieced by hand by the owner's late wife's paternal-grandmother (S. McGehee) in 1935 and was hand-quilted by her daughter (the late wife's mother, L. McGenee) in 1940. You rarely can find such a rich history (provenance) that accompanies a quilt. The handwork on this piece its precise and masterful.
The pattern is called "6 Pointed Star" and is made up of more than one THOUSAND diamond shapes. As far as we can tell, there are no tears or stains on this quilt at all. The backing is a lustrous turquoise color and the quilting handwork is clearly visible.
The quilt measures 58" x 71" inches and has a medium-weight batting. This is one of several quilts that have been exhibited at the Fielder Road Museum in Arlington, Texas.
