In strong, sturdy condition, this early LeMoyne Stars is of ample size. The eight pointed stars are on point, and sashed with a lovely double pink seaweed print.
Hand quilted and separately bound with the same seaweed print she used in the gating. A variety of quiet 19th century printed cotton fabrics in the LeMoyne stars created with eight diamonds pieced with precision.
