LeMoyne Stars

1 06 2014

This quilt grew out of a set of fat quarters with alternating patterns in soft red and slate blue.  I decided on eight point stars to illustrate the alternating color ways of each fabric.  I used black as the foil to set them off,  used red as the inner border and black again for the outer.  It is a piece with lots of drama.  I added black/grey yo-yos in the center of the stars.
