Seven Sisters Quilt: Shooting Stars or a Shootout?
Stars are a prime symbol at this time of the year for those celebrating Christmas. The star that led the Wise Men to find the Christ Child in Bethlehem features prominently on Christmas cards, wrapping paper and Christmas decorations. It seems timely to enjoy the Seven Sisters quilt block pattern—with a star representing each sister. The pattern is named for “The seven lovely daughters of the Fowler family” of Old Virginia” explained Nancy Cabot in her Chicago Tribune column in 1933.
