    Would you mind posting a close up of this quilting?

    Also, can you tell if the stars are pieced into the block or appliqued onto the top?
    I'll have time to take and post a closeup tomorrow morning. I am not a quilter but the stars look pieced to me.

    Also, if anyone is interested in seeing two little coats my ggrandmother, who later wrote of the quilt, wore a few years earlier in the 1850's I'll post that too. I know it's not quilting but it is beautiful sewing.

    Thank you so much and YES, Id love to see the coats too.
    How lucky you are to have such great family artifacts.

    Some one put a lot of work into that beauty. It's so nice it's the hands of someone who appreciates it.

    Rob, they are both gorgeous! Sorry I can't help you with the names of them though. It's wonderful that you know the history behind them.
