Description:
Cathy made The Star and Plume Quilt after she wrote a song of the same name for her third quilting CD, A Quilter's World. It tells a happy-ending story about our favorite quilt gal, Sunbonnet Sue, who finds true love after some dicey moments with an intruder, using 46 quilt block names to tell the story. Thanks to Barbara Brackman and her wonderful Encyclopedia of Quilt Block Patterns, Cathy not only got the names of the blocks but also got to see what they looked like. Cathy finished the quilt in the car on her way to Texas in January 2005.
Techniques Used: Machine and Hand Pieced and Appliquéd, Machine Quilted; Each block is 9"
