American Lone Star Hand Quilted Quilt 1930s - Excellent Condition - 78x78 inches. This American patchwork quilt features a classic Lone Star pattern, also known as the Star of Bethlehem.

The star contains concentric rings of purple, yellow, red, light green, lavender, tan, and blue printed cotton fabrics. These fabrics include florals, geometric patterns, and feed sack styles characteristic of the 1930s. The white cotton background is decorated with additional diamond-patch segments forming an outer border and secondary star points. The piece is constructed with a white cotton backing and cotton batting. The entire quilt is hand-quilted with a fine diamond-grid pattern across the white fields and echoing stitches within the pieced star points.
