Dec. 11 – Jinny’s Star

 

I’ve just come up long enough for air from my quilting room to remember that I have not posted today’s quilt!  Here you go…  Did you take a guess as to who the mystery autograph (initials JB) is from?  If not, pause and consider a moment, then check to see if you are right.

TOMORROW’S TEASER:  A commemorative quilt marking a major national event occurring in 2001.  I bet you can guess!

See you tomorrow!
