Broken Star Quilt
Description:

Quilters today can join guilds but quilt construction has long been a social activity. This quilt was originally pieced in Germany but immigrated all the way to New Haven where a woman's club from Gar Creek Lutheran Church helped to complete construction. This challenging pattern is still popular today.
