Moon Cherokee Star Quilt
I am fascinated by seven-point stars, because they're very difficult to execute. So when I ran across this wonderful kitschy Cherokee Star quilt for sale, I wanted to get it. It was made by Bob Moon's mother-- I don't know her first name. I acquired it in the 1990s. It is made in typical 1970's polyester of seafoam green and coral. (The photo flash sort of washed out the colors.) The central 8-point star is a classic common pattern. But it is studded with these nice pieced Cherokee stars which have been appliqued onto the surface of the quilt. It is quilted on a commercial long-arm machine. Here the quilt is modelled by Gracie Piddlewhiskers, who thinks it is her role to get on every quilt for the picture.
