Cheery Cherry 2018 BOM Lap Quilt

Our guild was challenged to do a block of the month in 2018. I was able to use some fabric I had in my stash and loved. I was short on some fabric, though, so I looked for a creative way to tie the blocks together for the quilt top. My love of stars, an ample amount of the cherry red, and a similar design in a quilt book yielded this design. My friend long-armed it for me in time to give to my mother for Valentine’s Day.
