This quilt was made by Leola Pettway of Boykin (Gee's Bend), Alabama in 1990. It pulsates and glows on the periwinkle wall. An organized star on a random background. Two curved corners on the bottom mean that two stars are trimmed. Oh well! That's improvisation.
This quilt is part of the "Super Stars" exhibit currently at the American Folk Art Museum.

Love the color of this quilt and the scrappy background to the traditional star. Very modern looking.
Intricate. Breathtaking.
It does pulsate. Gorgeous!
Wow! At first glance, I thought it might be one of yours!
