2017 Raffle Quilt: Oh My Stars and Garters
RSQ's 2017 raffle quilt "Oh My Stars and Garters!" is the product of a collaborative effort by members of the Rising Star Quilters Guild. Designed by guild member Betsy Habich, this beautiful machine pieced 86" X 86" quilt is a geometric design featuring the guild's signature "Rising Star" as the central medallion, surrounded by an inner row of 'garters' (piano keys), an inner round of Ohio Star blocks, an outer row of 'garters', and an outer round of 54-40 or Fight Stars. Pieced with donated and purchased batiks in a vibrant combination of blues and off-whites, this combination of three different stars with 'garters' truly illustrates the old expression of amazement and awe, 'oh my stars and garters' (modern translation: "oh wow!"). The quilt is machine quilted by Laurena McDermott using a neutral thread in an all-over field. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the charity "REACH - beyond domestic violence".
