California Star Quilt and Bettye holding book that featured it on the cover

When Bettye needed “R&R” during or after making a highly complicated quilt she would turn to a simpler design such as the “Feathered Star” or “California Star.” She called this one her “cancer recovery” quilt because she worked on it while dealing with uterine cancer.  It ended up on the cover of Star Quilts, by Mary Elizabeth Johnson Huff.
