Feathered Star, 1875 and 1930 (Block Format Quilts)
|
Feathered Star, 1875 and 1930Maker: Alice Belknap and Elizabeth Ruth Clizer Cross Alice was only 16 years old when she made her Feathered Star quilt! The complicated technique of positioning the little triangles around the star points didn't seem to deter the already- accomplished seamstress. Made at a time when red and green quilts were popular, the red cotton remains vibrant, probably dyed with colorfast Turkey Red. Alice's top was quilted years later by her sister-in-law, Elizabeth Ruth Clizer Cross. |
