In the first white border there's a poem quilted:
Star Light Star Bright
First Star I see Tonight
I wish I may I with I might
Have the Wish I wish tonight
On the back of the quilt in the signature square there's the words from the book I Like Stars that Oliver can read to us this year! Quilt was kinda named (well it says this on the signature square) 'Starlight in my Eye'
