Starry, Starry Nights

As part of an ongoing rotation of quilts from the Charleston Museum's permanent textile collection, the Museum will display thirteen quilts in an exhibit called "Starry, Starry Nights." Ranging in date from 1840 to 1900, each piece offers a unique interpretation of a star theme. Dating back to even the earliest pieced quilts, stars made of diamonds or triangles appear in borders, blocks and as central motifs.
