Colonial Court combines star and chain blocks in an advanced quilt designed by Char Hopeman. Small purple stars sit inside larger units made with quarter-square triangles, while four-patch and nine-patch sections build the alternating chain blocks. Seven rows of five blocks form the center. A flying-geese border sits between two fabric borders, extending the pieced detail around the quilt. The Richmond c. 1862 fabrics finish in a stated 74.5 x 94.5-inch design.
