Mariner's Compass Quilt by Barbara Ann Miller. The quilt consists of 20 blocks arranged in four rows and five columns. Each block features a central circle with a star design, comprising red, yellow, black, and gray fabric pieces. The star is surrounded by a ring of fabric with a yellow background and a brown floral print border. The background of the quilt is white. The quilt has a rectangular shape with a wavy bottom edge. The colors used are predominantly red, yellow, black, gray, brown, and white. The quilt appears to be made of fabric with various patterns, including solid colors and prints. The overall design is symmetrical, with identical blocks in each row and column. The quilt has a decorative border around the edges. The star design in each block has eight points. The center of each star is a small circle with a floral pattern. The quilt's background is visible around the edges, providing contrast to the colorful design.
