This is #2 of my cousin's projects that she gave me to finish for her. It is 68 x 79". She had made 9 stars and I made the rest. If you count from the top left, going across to the right, her original 9 stars are #s 1, 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 19, 21 and 25. They form an X across the quilt. I added another row to the bottom so it wouldn't be square. She had given me a bunch of red, white and blue scraps, so that is what I used. The backing she gave me dictated how large the quilt would be.
I will take it to her in a week or two when I visit my sister.
I didn't know if I could find 21 more star patterns, but it worked out. A couple of them are paper pieced.
This was a labor of love since I really don't like making stars. haha
I tried to do the easiest patterns, with the fewest pieces, but it was a challenge as I was getting to the end.
I hope she likes it and gets a lot of use out of it.
This is the back. It says Liberty and Freedom on it....along with bells and flags.
I used Glide Linen on the top and So Fine light tan in the bobbin. Panto is Star Swirl
