Be the Brightest Star

“Be the Brightest Star” tells you in her own words what she wants you to know. Although the bright stars take center stage in this quilt, the words “shine” “brightly” are appliquéd onto the background of the quilt as a quiet reminder. Take her advice please and shine!

“Be the Brightest Star” measures 60x73 inches. That means it is big enough to be a lap quilt but it is made to hang on the wall where the stars can shine brightly. There is a hanging sleeve on the back to make hanging easy.

I pieced and appliquéd “Be the Brightest Star” on my sewing machine fondly named Jessica Janome. Maxine Moore carried out the theme of the quilt by quilting a gold star pattern on the black background.

The fabric on the back is a bright African stripe fabric. A label documents the quilt. This quilt is one-of-a-kind. I hope you like it.
