Texas Star with a Surprise
In some ways, this cheery quilt is a typical 1930s-40s quilt. But not all ways. Read on....
The quilt has a favorite look of this era, a huge collection of multi-colored print scraps on a white ground.
It's a bit different in that it's not one of what I see as the top 3 scrap quilt patterns from this era - Grandmother's Flower Garden, Double Wedding Ring, or Dresden Plate. Texas Star is not rare, but still not one of the top three.
What really makes it a one-of-a-kind, at least in my experience, is the quilting.
