A Star Is Born By: Claire Alexander,
Oregon, USA
Two starters: my pregnant daughter didn’t want to know the baby’s sex till birth, so I made equal parts pink and blue. Second, I had bought Karla Alexander’s Curves for Squares Ruler and had to try it. So I designed this quilt. The name comes from the star blocks and prints as well as the occasion.
