Description:
In 2005 Jo Morton talked Andover Fabrics into creating a fabric that featured a large repeating star shape. After making the fabric in several different colors, Andover wanted Jo to start making quilts utilizing the fabric. For her Patriotic Strippy Stars quilt, she featured the fabric in the borders, which surround several sawtooth star blocks that are set on point in a strippy set, which is reminiscent of a 19th-century quilt but may be seen as a bit more contemporary when viewed today.
