Blue stars nearly finished

I collected a bunch of blue friendship stars from friends

for a group quilt project.

The parameters were that the stars had to be blue, the backgrounds neutral,

and they had to spin the same way, and finish at 9 inches

I dispersed the solid stars among the rest of them,

and then offset them by 3 inches to make them dance.

It all went together quickly, and I had enough blue scraps to make the piano key border.

One friend donated three metres of indigo fabric for the backing.

I had a few stars left, so I pieced together the backing,

but not without some serious calculations.

And I have just enough yardage left to cut the binding.

Here's the finished back.

It doesn't look nearly as complicated as it was.

I love little pieces and I don't mind making 500 seams in the front,

but I'm grumpy about more than one seam in the back.

It's not quite a finish, except that I finished both the top and the backing this week,

so I'm claiming it.
