Although the state of Texas claims the Lone Star as its own, the design has universal appeal for obvious reasons, and has been adopted and adapted by quilt makers all over the nation. Here we see the center star surrounded by two boarders of bright orange tulips giving this quilt a fresh take on a classic design.
