Description
Rich shades of rose, burgundy, cream, and deep evergreen come together in this striking Star of Beauty quilt. Created by an Old Order Mennonite artisan in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this handmade quilt immediately draws the eye with its dramatic center medallion and intricate arrangement of star points. The design creates the impression of a blooming flower and radiant star combined into one breathtaking heirloom piece.
The quilt showcases an artistic blend of floral prints, tonal fabrics, and traditional patchwork techniques. Layers of burgundy and pink star points radiate from the center, while deep green floral fabrics provide contrast and depth throughout the design.

The carefully coordinated prints give this quilt a distinctive appearance unlike any other.
Delicate hand quilting enhances every section of the quilt, adding texture and dimension throughout the design.

The backing fabric is a soft mint green print that showcases the extensive hand stitching from the reverse side, allowing the artistry of the quilting to be appreciated from every angle.
