I just found this on the swiss version of ebay. The seller says its dated around 1840 and the price starts at $ 7200. The size is 82x75".
Have no intention to buy :lol: its a bit too pricy for my taste.
But I like the pattern.

What do you think?

it's interesting that they put a blue sash around the corner sections.

This quilt is incredible. I'm not picking it apart but I notice that many seams don't match up. This quilt tells me that beauty is not in perfection. The fabric and pattern works together for an amazing quilt. I would love to know the history of this quilt:) Wish I could afford it!:)

Dont you think it would look better with blue sashing around all sections?
Hope the lady making this gorgeous quilt in 1840 doesnt mind me asking........

it is awesome but when I look at the center of the star I feel like I am falling into it. Is that weird or what? Or is it an optical illusion? Or is it my cataracts? Does it do this to anyone else?
