Blazing Star Quilt
Object/Artifact
Hand pieced and hand quilted. "Each full star in this red, green, and yellow quilt is made up of 128 diamond-shaped pieces. Fifteen full stars, 11 half-stars and 2 quarter stars add up to an impressive total of 2,688 diamonds. A close examination reveals faint pencil marks made to guide the stitching, done in a running vine pattern." - Elizabeth Davis, "A Stitch in Time: Quilts from the Genesee Country Village & Museum", 2005.
