Being a little lazy here. I thought I would ask here before spending hours searching on line.
Does anyone know what this pattern is called? This was the only salvagable piece of a quilt I found at a yard sale.
I am thinking about making a copy. Although finding fabric to match may be hard. It seems to be made from a heavier fabric, the yellow. The stars seem to be made from shirting type fabric and chambray. I was going to try to do something with this piece but it is just too far gone. Fabric is disintegrating.
Thanks
