Desert Rock Stars


Desert Rock Stars
This quilt is for my cousin Jamie who lives in New Mexico.   Its in desert colors.  The center of each star has petroglyph style horses and Native American symbols.  The same fabric is used in the narrow frame surrounding the center of the quilt.  The boarder is a wide Native American petroglyph fabric in sand colors.  Jamie chose fabrics for the backing from a quilt shop in Las Cruces, where she lives.

 This was the block layout for the star blocks.  This pattern is modified from a Marsha McClosky wall hanging.
