Scrappy String Star

Finished Size: 20″ x 20″

This is the third project I’ve completed since I started sewing with the Thursday group. I originally thought I would donate this to the Member Appreciation event at Cranberry Hall (the backing is some musical-notation fabric) but once it was done I decided I wanted to keep it for myself.

The star itself is paper pieced and the quilting idea for the corners came from an on-line free-motion quilting challenge I’m keeping track of. I added some meandering in the set-in triangle pieces around the star. The loops in the border came from a quilting book I have in my own library and the quilting in the yellow corners is my own design.
