I've been back to my box of two inch squares to make this scrappy stars quilt for a favourite teacher. I'm using busy calicos and other "uglies" which made it over to me from mom's stash, and I'm aiming for muted colours so the stars pop. Here's a close-up of a star, using the liberated method a la Gwen Marston.
This is meant to be a throw size, with some words around the border, and backed with flannelette so she can cuddle with it after a hard day of school. The squares are finishing at 9.5 inches.I've layered and pinned my To Be quilt, and I'll be quilting freehand fans on it this weekend.

Looks good to me! I've used this technique on a number of quilts and it's loved every time!
Great quilt, love what you have done with the stars...
Those liberated stars are great. They have an air of such freedom. And I love uglies! They are fun to work with, yes?
Oh I just love those stars. You have a good eye. (well, two probably!)
