Offered is a large 34-star flag, produced during the Civil War. This flag features white double-appliqued hand and machine-sewn stars on a blue canton, along with 13 machine-sewn alternating red and white stripes.

The 34th star flag was made official on July 4th of that year and remained the official flag until July 4th, 1863, when the 35-star flag was made official for the admission of West Virginia to the Union. Even with the secession of states during the American Civil War, the American flag was not officially changed to show a loss of stars.

While the pieced pattern of this latticework quilt is a simple one, the quilting is anything but. Each open diamond provides a canvas on which this quilt artist plied her needle. There is a variety of very graceful floral patterns, many of which are not repeated. The quilt has been professionally laundered and is in pristine condition. Faint evidence remains of the pencil lines to mark the quilting outlines. Measurements are 86" x 106". The red with blue print grid coordinates perfectly with the red print on the blue chintz...
