I’m nearing the finish line on my Katie’s String Star quilt! Look –
I just have to trim the edges of the quilt up and add the 3 outer borders and I’ll have this quilt top completed today!
I just love looking at each of these stars! They are all so different and “sew” scrappy! I’ve chosen a neat stripe print for the middle outer border, so I’m really excited to see how it turns out.
This pattern can be found in this book on page 153:
Or you can find it in the May/June 2004 issue of Fons and Porter magazine – page 83! (see what happens when I clean out all my magazines – I find things I new I had – just didn’t know where they were stashed!
I’ve been a little distracted this morning while blogging….
It seems my dear sweet Bella is trying to learn how to use my computer!
Have a good one!
