Navajo Star

 When I saw the book Trade Winds by Amy Butler's husband, I was impressed by the Navajo quilt on the cover. I decided to make it with a coarse weave called osnaburg. If texture is what you're after, osnaburg delivers. 


Since Paul served his mission in Phoenix and on the Navajo reservation, he loves all things with dramatic lines.


I wouldn't recommend the pattern because it requires you to applique the center two squares on top. It was nearly impossible to make those exactly square with the quilt and with each other.




I entered this in Sisters and it sold there. When I find a similar kind of pattern, I will try again. Here's the back.
