An early quilt in still fresh crisp colors and fresh condition is a special find. From the mid-19th century the LeMoyne (eight point) Stars are pieced of handsome red and green prints and the star blocks joined with a watermelon-rose color sashing that creates zigzags around the blocks on point and adds a secondary pattern to the surface. Display it as a sophisticated and historic accent.
