Aunt Lottie's Star Quilt
Pattern: Aunt Lottie’s Star / Texas Star
Date: c.1870
Provenance/Notes:
An absolutely stunning combination of a bright orange cheddar and bright spring green, this quilt ushers in the spring season with her joyful colors
Made over a century and a half ago, but strikingly modern in her appeal
Notice the beautiful quilting throughout, especially in the green square spaces —little scalloped arches like Roman aqueducts
Hails from an Esmont, VA estate collection; maker/origin unknown
Washed by hand and in very good condition. She has signs of her age and history with a few very light residual marks from use and a couple spots of typical discoloration in the green fabric. One corner white area may have rubbed against something rough at some point in time and has some surface wear. (See last couple photos.)
Measurements: 67” x 80”
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go to Tubman, Minnesota’s largest provider of domestic violence shelter services. For more, see tubman.org

Note on antique/vintage quilts: Many of the quilts we sell have been loved, slept under, washed, sunshine dried, taken on picnics, slept on underneath the stars, and lived lifetimes before arriving at our doorstep. You can expect to see repairs made by later generations, fraying around the edges or in certain blocks, discoloration or yellowing, cotton/wool batting—or as we like to call them, tiny sheep—peeking through. They are imperfect, but their imperfections are charming to us and we hope you feel the same. They are reminders to us of their old age and the history to which they've been a witness. We try our best to note any imperfections, but it’s possible we might miss one here and there. Well-crafted, handmade antique quilts in their original form are becoming scarcer, and we believe it's vital that we preserve them and continue to love them, imperfections and all.
Because these quilts are one-of-a-kind and we are a tiny enterprise, we do not accept returns; please review all photos and the description carefully and ask any questions you may have prior to purchasing.
