    Hi

    My test quilt is growing. I still donīt know for sure i like it. It is the background color for the stars that i just not sure i like.
    Mayby it will grow on me when it is all done. Any way it is a test quilt.

    Heres as far i got for now.

    Have a great evening.

    God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
    A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
    And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

    How big are you intending to make it? I think the background fabric is great, it is pretty unique and so are the prints that you made the stars from, but it will be stunning when you are finished.

    As big as the fabric will let me. I bought hm.. in swedish is it called stuvbit. It is not on the bulk. it is loose picese for less money. if you know what i mean.
    I think i can get another row or two with 3 stars a row. after that i think i run out of background fabric.

    I think we refer to loose pieces as remnants. It will make a great lap quilt or wall hanging.

    Aren't those stars fun to make?

    I like your background fabric. It is different from anything I would use, but I like the contrast it gives to the stars.
    When life throws you scraps, make a quilt!

    I like it! Maybe sashing would make you like it more?!

    Annika, have to agree with Kathy. I like the back ground fabric, but think I would like it better with sashing.
