Twin Stars Quilt

This quilt came together in only a few weeks in early spring 2009. We’d just returned from a house-hunting trip in North Yorkshire. Even though the house we’d chosen wouldn’t be finished for a while, we knew none of the rooms would be large enough for Heather’s double bed. She needed a twin-sized bed and a new quilt to match it. I quickly made two dozen 10” blocks from the charm squares I’d swapped with friends in the Clothesline Club. Most of the prints are reproductions, but a few are actually antiques from the 30’s. Then I let Heather select fabric for the sashing, cornerstones, border, back and binding. I knew she’d choose something green, but the pink was a surprise. She was delighted with the finished product and kept it on her bed until we moved back home. Since then it’s served as a picnic quilt. It’s been washed many times, but is still in excellent shape.
