Twinkling Star Quilt
Pattern: Twinkling Star / Rolling Star Variation
Date: c. 1900-1920
Provenance/Notes:
Sixteen gorgeous, crisp cadet blue stars shine against a soft white calico background
Notice the geometrical beauty of the pattern — eight points surrounded by eight squares and eight diamonds, creating an octagon within the square block
White fabric with tiny red dots set into most of the corners of each block — a subtle detail that adds charm
Double rod quilting throughout gives the quilt great texture
This quilt was likely once washed in a machine and thereby developed some gathering of batting which has created lumpiness in the less quilted square patches. A couple small yellow stains. Otherwise in great shape and a nice piece to use as a casual everyday quilt.
Washed by hand
Maker/origin unknown
Measurements: 68” x 78”
$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.

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.
