About the Item

This Evening Stars Quilt is a lovely variation of a traditional pattern. Placing one star within another and placing the red stars abutting one another creates a variety of optical illusions and additional patterns. The quilt is from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; circa 1880. It is finely quilted with several different floral patterns in the white blocks, a nice counterpoint to the geometric stars. It has been professionally laundered. There is very slight fading along part of one green edge but otherwise is in excellent condition. Measurements are 69" x 83".

19th Century American Applique Quilt in Southern Tulip Pattern

Located in Barrington, IL

Step back in time with this breathtaking 19th-century American appliqué quilt, lovingly hand-stitched in the late 1800s in the southern United States. Featuring the timeless “Southern Tulip” pattern, this heirloom piece showcases vibrant maroon and orange tulip blossoms with graceful green stems and leaves, all set against a warm ivory background. A striking diamond border in green and maroon elegantly frames a grid of cream squares, each adorned with its own tulip motif.

A true labor of love, this antique quilt is more than just a textile—it’s a piece of American history. Highly collectible and increasingly rare, its delicate beauty makes it ideal not only as a cherished keepsake but also as a stunning tapestry-style wall art piece. Whether displayed or preserved, this quilt is a celebration of craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless Southern charm.
