Beautiful quilt. I'm thinking that it was all pieced by hand and hand quilted if it's that old. It's worth every penny IMO.

It only said 82 x 75", dated 1840 (?) and that it came from Todd county K.Y. USA

Makes me want to put my imperfect quilts in a time capsule. Who knows that they would be worth some day. haha

Looking at the closeup, the fabrics in the stars look like they could be 1800's, but the blue border doesn't fit IMO. But I am no quilt historian, have just looked at a lot of repro fabric. I have not seen any blues that are that bright.
