“Turquoise is one of my all-time-favorite colors so I use it in just
about every quilt I make. In this project, it was the perfect color
to show off the rainbow stars. For the stars, I tried a new color
combination, which I love to do. The pops of lime green add a dash
of color and intensity to the design.” —Vicki Ruebel, DESIGNER
