Red Feather Star Quilt
Pattern: Feather Star Variation
Date: c.1880-1900
Provenance/Notes:
A stunning quilt made in a striking and unique variation on a Feather Star pattern, much like a snowflake, in a turkey red and creamy off-white
Expert piecing with tiny triangles and squares in each block and beautiful quilting throughout with feather wreaths in all the negative spaces
Not a thick quilt but has a substantial weight that makes the quilt lay beautifully across a bed
Hails from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia; maker/origin uknown
Washed by hand and in great condition for age with just a few very light residual marks/stains as shown in last photo — nothing dark — and a touch of wear on a couple small parts of the red trim
Measurements: 80” 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.
International customers: If you enter a shipping address outside of the US, you will not be charged for shipping upon checkout. A separate invoice will be sent once shipping is calculated. If you need a shipping estimate, please reach out ahead of time. Tax will be added only to Virginia state orders. Orders shipped to destinations outside of Virginia are not taxed.
15% of profits from every quilt sale in this collection will go towards Housing Families First, an organization in Richmond, VA that helps families resolve their homelessness through crisis response, community housing, and youth housing programs.

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.
