Vintage Quilt, "Ohio Star" Pattern

Description

Vintage Quilt, "Ohio Star" Pattern (78″ × 78″) This classic vintage quilt features the iconic Ohio Star pattern, a pattern traced back to Oberlin, Ohio as a pattern made to symbolize the heroism of anti-slavery fighters like John Brown and Lewis Sheridan Leary during the Civil War. This quilt features a bright yellow and pink patterned cotton, showcasing the contrast within the pattern in a bright palette. Size & Fit Finished dimensions: approx. 78″ × 78″ (about 6 ft 6″ × 6 ft 6″) — a balanced, almost square size that makes this quilt ideal for a full‑size bed, a large decorative throw, or a centrally placed wall hanging. Because it is handmade and of vintage age, expect slight variations and a gently worn hand that adds character.
