This fabulous quilt made between 1870 and 1890 in Paris, MO., which can be found in the DAR Museum. Take a look at the quilt, which looks just as modern today.
From the DAR Museum:
"Mildred Matilda Buckner Fox made this dramatic Star of Bethlehem pieced quilt between 1870 and 1890 in Paris, Missouri. She precisely cut diamond shapes from colorful cotton fabrics that make a striking contrast against the black background fabric. Her 5-foot-wide star is composed of 392 diamonds that are outlined with quilting stitches."
