EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning sunburst quilt, dating back to the 19th century in the United States, showcases the intricate beauty and craftsmanship of American needlework. The bedcover, c. 1850, is a testament to the artistic skills and creativity of its unknown creator. The quilt is a vibrant and colorful piece, featuring a sunburst design with red, green, and white stars and circles set against a plain cotton background. The bedcover is backed with another piece of cotton plain weave fabric and is edged with the same material, adding to its overall elegance and cohesiveness. The sunburst motif, a popular design during the 19th century, is depicted in intricate detail, with each star and circle meticulously pieced together. Some of the motifs are printed, adding an extra layer of visual interest to the quilt. The quilt is a significant piece of American heritage art, reflecting the country's rich textile tradition. It is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The bedcover's red, green, and white color palette adds to its timeless appeal, making it a beautiful addition to any bedroom or living space. The quilt's intricate needlework and intriguing design make it a true work of art, worthy of appreciation and admiration for generations to come.
