    Cool Country Western Singers signature Quilt.

    I was asked to make a quilt out of 31 blocks with country western singers signatures on them. I was very nervous as they got all of them at concerts. The blocks were about 9 inches sq. So I made them into stars. I went with a star theme and put their favorites in the center. I drew in a hat, guitar, star and notes to make a pantograph to use in the border. Used star designs in most of the others. He loved the quilt. His wife is getting this for Christmas. She wanted a quilt made with them but they have laid around for years. This quilt is 110" X 130". It took me 4 hrs to just bind the quilt. Whew!!!!!! I loved doing this but sure am glad it is done. To bad it isn't mine!!!!!!! He even tipped me for making it after the total of the bill. Nice guy. So here is the quilt. The pictures do nothing for it but hope you get the idea. No pics of whole quilt as I had no place to put it that was that big!!!!!

    What a treasure. I can't imagine what that must be worth, and the thrill of being the one to put it all together. You did an amazing job.
