retirement quilt :: in progress

My sister asked me to make a quilt for a friend at work who is retiring at the end of this month.  This woman has an entire room in her house dedicated to patriotism, so we thought she would enjoy a patriotic lap quilt as a retirement gift.

I just started this quilt over the weekend, so I only have the flag and 2 of 16 wonky stars completed.  I'm using an old tutorial from SillyBooDilly to make the wonky stars.  It took me an hour and 15 minutes to finish 2 stars last night so imagine the process will be a little slower than I'm used to.
