my mom had a
quilt like that
Lone Star With Satellites 1950s. eBay purchase 2003-2005. 77"x85½" Fabric: Cotton. Batting: Light, smooth
cotton. Backing: Deep rose pink cotton. Edge: Tape ½" to each side and caught by hand in back. Piecing:
By machine. Quilting: By hand, white thread, 6 stitches to the inch. Quilting follows the inside edge of
all borders. Within stars, diamonds are outlined inside the diamond on two sides and outside on two.
Condition: Excellent. Appears unused and unwashed. Comment: I think I recall this pattern, perhaps even
kits, being advertised in the Parade Magazine supplement to the Sunday newspaper in the late 1950s and
early 1960s.
