This stunning 19th century Bedcover, also referred to as a Sunburst or Feathered Edged Star Quilt, showcases the intricate needlework and design sensibilities of American quilters during the early to mid-1800s. The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and historical mystery. This quilt, estimated to be from the United States around 1830, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the country. The bedcover is adorned with a captivating array of star and circle motifs, arranged in a sunburst pattern that radiates out from the center. The quilted design is further accentuated by the use of contrasting colors, including red, green, and white. The quilted fabric, with its intricate patterns and meticulous stitching, speaks to the skill and dedication of the quilter. The feathered edges of the stars add a delicate touch, while the diamond motifs provide a geometric balance. This quilted textile is a prime example of the artistry and creativity that flourished during the nineteenth century in the United States. Displayed in the textile collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, this Bedcover is a cherished piece of American heritage.
