I started thinking about this quilt on Martin Luther King Day (2026) while listening to Dr. King's final speech. His famous statement, "Only in the darkness, can you see the stars." was all I needed for inspiration to continue working on the design. This is the result.
STATS: A Star in the Darkness, 2026, 29" x 29", Paper Pieced, Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
The pictures were taken at the stone arch at the base of Skyline Drive in Canon City. It was constructed in 1932 by inmate labor. It was built with stones sent by governors from all 48 states at that time in the U. S. I thought that it would be appropriate for the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
