Patriotic Lone Star with Sentimental Ties
Juanita brought me this lone star top that her Aunt had hand pieced a very long time ago. It was in great shape and I really liked the small star in the setting squares. That is a design touch I haven't seen very often in lone stars.
Juanita shared with me that her now deceased husband was a patriotic man who always loved this top but her Aunt had died before it could be quilted. A star and loop pantograph really complements this quilt. The fabrics are a collection of different fibers and it needed a bit of coaxing to lay flat but it laid flat in the end. 
Juanita has about ten more of her Aunt's tops waiting to be quilted many of which have timeless color palettes like this. We laughed a bit because in almost all of them was this same white background fabric. She must have bought it by the bolt!
