Vtg Old Textile Summer Quilt Patchwork 4 Pt Star, 77” By 68”, Hand sewn Coverlet

Description: This lovely old quilt in a four point star chain measures 78” by 66” wide. It is full of old textile examples with each star having unique fabric features. It’s incredibly soft! It is an antique quilt which is usually referred to as a summer quilt since it has no batting. It is not quilted, but instead hand tied. Measures 68" x 77". Fabrics are probably from the 1940s and 1950's, some even older possibly. It is in very good condition without any stains at all. The backing is a cotton material with a blue r floral design all over. The edges have been finished with a blanket stitch to inside and then machine stitched hem to the material. The rest of the quilt seems to be made by hand-stitching. There are different fabrics used throughout the quilt to form a chain of 4 point stars. I tried to photograph up close so you can appreciate the precision work in this quilt and all the old varied textiles. There are about 5 blowouts…fabric patches that give out because of age. Most of these I noticed are the solid yellows and easy to repair. One is purple. I photographed examples of these up close. Use photos to guide you. The bottom hem at one point, too, has split at the weakened with age edge fold. I photographed this up close. This could be repaired with a slip stitch. It doesn’t really show on display. Comes from a smoke free home. Guaranteed vintage and guaranteed lovely. I like the summery colors of this quilt along with the subdued fabric patch color choices! Note: for reference, the quilt was photographed on top of a California king sized bed. It covers the top almost completely. Each star shape measures about 6” by 6”.
