Patriotic star

Mom - patriotic star, originally uploaded by Mellicious.

Quilt above made by Billie Standley.

My mom made so many quilts that I'll never really have a real count of all of them. This one, for example, is long-gone - I think it may have been another community service quilt, but I'm not sure about that, either. I remember now seeing it at the time she made it, but I had completely forgotten its existence until I came across this picture in her stuff. I am not really particularly big on patriotic-themed stuff, but this one is cute. For one thing, I like that border fabric more than I like a lot of flag fabric. And that huge red star really pops.
