Cherokee Star Pieced Quilt
A favorite in my collection of quilts by other women, is this Cherokee Star Pieced Quilt. I think I bought it at a garage sale and the sellers didn't know who made it. Most seven-point star quilts are actually appliqued, but this one is the only authentic fully-pieced 7-point star quilt that I have seen in person, except in recent years at the Cherokee National Holiday Quilt Show. This one is pieced in sometimes-now-ragged prints that appear to be from the 1950s, on a plain white background and it has a white back also. It is stained in places, faded in other spots, and threadbare too.
The batting is thin white all cotton batt, and the back was pure white cotton fabric. It is fully hand-quilted and has a petite half-inch folded-over binding.
