I designed this quilt based on a Missouri Star wall hanging by Jenny Doan. I wanted it to be larger and more accurately represent Old Glory. I used math to determine the best size trapezoid template to give me the overall proportions. I used small white trapezoids to be suggestive of stars instead of using real stars.
I intended it to be for the Quilts of Valor program, but it is too big. I will be gifting it to a Vietnam Vet who still suffers today from injuries sustained almost 50 years ago.
