notes: label: Description
content: Pattern block names vary by era and region. Variations on traditional or classical block patterns are always evolving with new names. In this variation of the "Princess Feather" pattern, eight appliqued feathers surround an 8-pointed pieced star center in each of the four blocks that comprise this quilt. The 6 ¾-inch border has alternating appliqued feathers and pieced half stars. The quilting consists of 6, 8 and 16 petal flowers, hearts, teardrops, and medallions. The feathers and stars have outline and echo line quilting. A simple palate of yellow, green and white cottons were used for the design.
