Sherryl, I sent a picture of the star to my sister, who immediately emailed back and asked if I could make her a quilt with that star in the center! I am going to make it 24", and surround it with squares of various sizes. It will be made of flannel in blues and browns and greens, which we have already been collecting. Thanks so much for the inspiration. It is just what she needs to help her thru some tough times ahead.
