stars 135
Stars from Diamonds 1930s. Purchased in Kent, WA in 1996. 68½"x87" Fabric: Cotton. Batting: Cotton,
medium weight. Backing: Muslin. Edge: Front is brought to the back ½" and stitched by hand. Piecing: By
hand. Quilting: Tied with yarn, sparcely. Condition: Very good. Colors are bright except on pink center that
is pale and may always have been, or may have faded. There is light soiling of the edge that shows on the
back. Comment: Each star has at least 960 pieces; Given the sparce tying, washing would have a high risk of
making the batting wad up.
