2014 Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show "Stars Over Sisters" Challenge Entry - Red Stars Quilt

Months of gathering fabric, sketching designs and making notes for the challenge came together in "Red Stars".  Originally conceived as a primarily dark blue quilt with a layer of white and red stars and another of trees, the final quilt has a neutral background with red stars, trees and the Three Sisters stitched in blue thread with a yellow appliqued moon.

Hand quilted and machine quilted trees added.
