Description:
Pepper's Star Of Bethlehem Variation is, as the name would suggest, Pepper's modern tribute to an early 20th-century quilt that she purchased that was very similar in design and created by a Lumbee Native American quiltmaker. The Lumbee Native Americans are a band of the Southeastern Cherokee. Having always wanted to make a lone star quilt and a quilt completely by hand, Pepper decided to knock out two goals at once with this piece. All hand pieced, all hand quilted, there is not a single machine stitch in it.
