Daddy's quilt

For the longest time I was planning to make my sailor an ocean waves quilt, so he could sleep under the ocean waves while his boat was under the ocean's waves. This tickled me to no end, but then I thought a star quilt would be better. Sailors and the stars have been such good friends for so long and my sailor doesn't get to see the stars on the submarine, so a star quilt was the best way to send him some stars to bring him safely home from his voyages, even if only in his dreams.


This quilt is long and skinny so it would fit on his rack on the boat. The block is called the Wyoming Star, the quilt pattern is called Stars in the Valley and was in the latest "Quilt" magazine.
