PRAIRIE STARS or HARVEST STARS ANTIQUE QUILT,| wool


 
PRAIRIE STARS or HARVEST STARS ANTIQUE QUILT,| wool
Always impressive to me is the hard work and artistic commitment devoted to small scale piecing of wools| truly a labor of love. Handsome two-color scheme much richer in person than in photo--bold red orange against charcoal brown. The several darker diamonds that seem to pop out are original| not replacements| probably scraps found to complete the quilt. Good demonstration of the use of clothing scraps perhaps seen in the several shades of both colors. Northern NY state. Actual quilt has intense colors| looks matte in photo only.I love intricate piecing when the material is wool| seems like such a contrast. This complex star is called "touching" because the points meet at the intersections of the pieced blocks. Glorious color combination--a rich brown (like a dark olive brown) and red orange| And yes that dark brown diamond IS original| not replaced. Amish or Mennonite| likely northern New York State or Canada. Exemplary graphic
