Star Splitter....it's a flimsy

 Where did that word flimsy come from?  across the pond?  Anyway, this is an unquilted top. Will it ever get quilted?  who knows.  I like it...and want to keep it....but not sure I want to quilt it. haha   perhaps it will just be for sale on eBay.  We'll see.

I found the pattern in the Mar/Apr 2013 Quiltmaker magazine. The pattern is by Victoria FIndlay Wolfe.  I had just made about a 100 scrappy blocks to sell....saw this pattern....and decided to cut them up and use them here. Here are the magazine pics.

Alternate stars and scrappy blocks....12.5" blocks....set on point...little HSTs all over the place.  I skipped the HSTs in the border....i had enough of those.

Here is my version. white on white background....gray setting triangles. white on white border.

HSTs all around the outside.  Since most of my scraps are rather small, there are thousands of seams in this thing. haha  Even the 2.5" HSTs are scrappy pieced.

Scraps galore. And I have enough to make a dozen more quilts just like this. Just as soon as I empty a scrappy box, another one starts filling up.

It is rather large. 95 x 104". But I think it just looks so cool.
