Blanche and her daughter Helen have been exploring this historical star ever since, playing with different configurations and sizes, to captivate generations of quilters to come. The ten projects include Lone Star, Touching Stars, Rolling Star, Broken Star, Star of Bethlehem, Double Star, and Blazing Star—all of which you can make without having to cut diamonds—and a gallery of twenty-five additional quilts is also provided!
