Lemoyne Star Quilt
Pattern: Lemoyne Star with Flying Geese Border
Date: c. 1890-1910
Provenance/Notes:
A stunningly beautiful old quilt with 36 crisp white Lemoyne stars set against a rich indigo calico fabric, framed with a wonderful border of large Flying Geese triangles
Lovely quilting of various designs throughout that follows the lines of the various shapes in the quilt
Generously sized with a very soft hand
Notice the perfectly faded indigo trim made of a different indigo fabric than the rest of the quilt
Hails from the collection of a prominent Northern Virginia estate; maker/origin unknown
A lightly stitched pole sleeve on back for hanging if desired (also easily removed)
Washed by hand and in great condition with just the slightest (really negligible) hint of discoloration in a couple places on white and a couple very small spots of light wear on white fabric (see last photo)
Measurements: 83” x 84”
$20 flat rate shipping includes insurance coverage for the full purchase amount. Price for smaller items have been adjusted (lowered) to account for the lower shipping cost.

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.
