This Star of Lemoyne quilt, along with a Honeycomb quilt and a Nine Patch quilt in the Museum’s collection, were all made by Rebecca Davis, grandmother of the quilt’s donor. Although this example is not signed, her Honeycomb quilt bears the inscription “Rebecca Davis/1846/ March”. The three quilts share some of the same English printed fabrics. The lavender cotton in this Star quilt has an English design registration mark that dates the fabric to 1844, further supporting that the quilt was made in the mid-1840s.
