Michael's hobby was writing and reading science fiction and we met at a science fiction club meeting in college.  When I went looking for a pattern with stars in it, I found Jan Krentz's book included a Lone Star quilt with rocket ships.  That was perfect.  Shirts were heavily starched and cut into strips and then made into the star.  The rockets were made from black and red shirts using freezer paper piecing.  I created a collage of photos of Michael, mostly wearing these shirts, and including his parents, our two children and three grandchildren, and his beloved Corvette.  The collage was sent to Spoonflower and made into enough fabric to fill the corners of the quilt and back the quilt.  Even the binding was made with his shirts.

My main purpose in taking the class was to improve my piecing skills, especially points, and there are plenty of points in this pattern. At the time, I had no other reason for making a quilt so finishing it was never a priority.  I did send the top to an excellent longarmer, but I neglected to bind it until this year.  Now that it's complete, I love it!  I like the autumn colors that I chose, the pattern, and the size of the quilt, which is perfect for snuggling under while watching TV or reading. I even like the crinkly texture that came from washing it. I still have a whole stack of quilt tops that need to be quilted and a \"new-ish\" longarm machine that I haven't yet mastered, but this quilt has inspired me to believe that I can create beautiful quilts if I just make myself finish them!  \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joan Cook \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lin Hayden \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joan Cook \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joan Cook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046558585107,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/26435-my-hunter-s-star-91-1605381521_c28d204d-6c36-40e8-97e0-217025787422.jpg?v=1776145815"},{"product_id":"feathered-star","title":"Feathered Star","description":"Janette CalebaughFeathered Star - Paper pieced pattern. \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Janette Calebaugh \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Janette Calebaugh \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2005 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e Janette Calebaugh \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 x 104 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janette Calebaugh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54049657225491,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/3029126_q.jpg?v=1776191187"},{"product_id":"sheri-s-glacier-star","title":"Sheri's Glacier Star","description":"My quilt took a 1st place ribbon in it's category.
