    Default Singing River Stars

    The older BH&G book where I saw this quilt refers to the block as Saint Charles Star, although I haven't found that anywhere else. In recognition of the name early Native Americans gave the Tennessee River, which is nine miles from my home, I call my quilt Singing River Stars.

    I pieced this top in 2008. The blue and cream fabrics are Moda Bella solids. Quilted on my Babylock Tiara, using HQ circle templates.
