Rebecca Davis expertly made wonderful use of stripes and prints to create whirling and twirling stars! The museum is fortunate to have two other wonderful quilts made by her.
Enjoy!

I love how she handled the corners of the borders! Just chop them off! I’d be agonizing how to turn the corner, should I have a corner square? and making the units to fit exactly perfectly without any points missing. I love her method, totally free and easy. And your eyes look at it and think what a great border. My eyes don’t go to the corners. This is great!
I totally agree Michele. A very brilliant way to handle the corners!
This is so great…..the spinners, the dots, and those two mustard colored stars! And a perfect border! Love it!
Regan, I didn’t notice those dots until you pointed them out. They are wonderful!
