Starburst in Turkey Red

Penny Church is hoping to recover a quilt called, "Starburst in Turkey Red" which her grandmother, Mary McEdward owned. There was a paper label attached with the name Florence Livingstone signed by Ethel. The quilt was made between 1860-1870. The quilt was last seen during 2007 in Sheridan, Wyoming. Penny's mother had it before she died in December 2007, but it could not be located in her belongings.

The quilt is 72" by 70". It uses fabrics that have red patterns on white backgrounds. It is hand pieced and hand quilted.

If you've seen this quilt, please contact Penny at [email protected].
