#99 Autumn Stars

Quilter Denise McCormick

The Autumn Star has been a favorite for generations. It combines nicely with other star blocks. “This quilt was made for my daughter and her husband soon after they married and moved to their first home. I chose the fabrics to complement their home and planned for it to be just something to snuggle up in on a cold day or take on a picnic. I really admire traditional quilt patterns because of the precision in the piecing. Combining the right fabrics to make a really great‐looking quilt makes me happy.

Our home was built in 1905 and has wonderful high ceilings, perfect for displaying quilts! I look forward to the day when I can retire and have more time to finish all the things I have started and use that fabric stash that keeps growing. My taste has shifted to more contemporary fabrics for many projects, and I can only imagine the number of fabric collections we will have to choose from in the future.

Quilts are such a great way to give a piece of yourself to someone else. We truly are blessed with such talented quilters in Oconee County. I admire them for their talent and their willingness to share their gifts with others.”
