| Victory Star Crib Quilt: Circa 1870; Pa. $975. | |
This Victory Star Crib Quilt also goes by the pattern names of Hands All Around and Yankee Pride. Regardless of the name, a Lemoyne Star sits at the center of eight half stars. The geometry of the pattern is nicely balanced by a swag border. Several of the brick colored lobes of the border show some "popping" but it is not throughout.
Nicely quilted. Measures 36" x 46". Made circa 1870; Pennsylvania origin.
