    Other notes:
    This quilt was supposed to be an Ohio Star quilt. I had planned to use the printed material as the focal square of the Ohio Star. I mistakenly cut up ALL my squares into triangles including the focal squares. So, with my surplus triangles I designed this quilt, which in fact, I like better.
