Nolte Barn Quilt "Country Star"

Barn Information

Quilt: Country Star

Owners:
Nancy Nolte

House/Barn History:
The house and barn combination owned by Nancy Nolte was built in 1826 and is very unique to this area but has been built extensively in northern climates as the house is attached to a four stall shore barn. The bar quilt is called “Country Star” and is attached to the house portion of the building, as that is what faces the road. A star pattern is not an easy design to cut or sew, as precision is extremely important as any inaccuracy in cutting or piecing is multiplied as pieces are added. An intricate star pattern was one way for a woman to show her needlework skills.
