This is a close-up of a tesselating star lap quilt I made for an ill friend a while back. If you look closely at the prints, you may recognize some 80s and 90s specials. Again, this is a quilt made mostly from Mom's stash.
The only purchases for this project were the neutral background fabrics. I used the remaining 2 inch strips to make a scrappy border and put a flannel back on it and did some simple machine quilting on it to keep it together.
If you're wondering about "Mom's stash", it's huge, although less than it was. A year ago, she started culling it, but there are hundreds of metres left to play with. Most of the time I can have what I want, especially if I take the older prints. And since I'm not that fond of batiks, and she doesn't want to part with those, we're both happy.
