Design Source - Description | This is the first quilt I ever made. I estimate I was a very young teenager. It used to have those silver paper stars glued on the blue field but they are long gone. I have often thought of adding stitched stars but I have decided to leave it be for the present time. It measures approximately 4"x6". I find it interesting that I hid stitching on the bottom of the stripes and whipped stitched the top of the stripe. |
