This pattern is one of my favorites and is even the design I use on my cards and stationary. Here we have a delicious Lemon Yellow and white Feathered Star that is perfectly executed.

The blocks measure 11-1/4" and are joined by a Lemon Yellow 2-1/4" sashing. The joining blocks, in white, measure 2-1/4" X 2-1/4 ". Taking this quilt to a higher "level" is the triple border with a 2-1/4" yellow strip, then a 2-3/8" white strip and another 2-1/4" strip in yellow. There is a 3/8" separately applied binding also in the lemon yellow.

The tiny triangles which make up the outer edges of the star measure 7/8" x 7/8" x 1-1/4"! The corner triangle has 1-1/4" sides. The white corner squares have 4-1/4" sides, while the white outer joining triangles measure 4 x 4 x 5-1/2". We have the 9 block pattern used for each of the corners which measure 6-1/4" and are an unusual addition to this pattern.

All piecing and quilting are executed by hand. There is echo quilting, chain quilting, quilted stars and more designs in various areas.

Not only is this quilt visually wonderful and soothing to one's vision, but can be used on one's bed or as a dramatic, yet comforting piece of art for your wall.

Now hand washed with an organic product and ready to be sent for your approval. Shipping is free in the continental US...out of our country there will be a shipping charge. Please ask for more information.
