thanks everyone for getting back with me so quickly. I was under the impression the book was state blocks..not stars. I remember the lady saying she'd picked out the states a friend of hers had lived in and that's the blocks she was using to make the quilt. I thought she said it was a Carol Doak book. After reading her suggestion I thought I'd love to make a quilt using the states where I have lived. My dad was military so we lived in numerous ones. thanks again!!
