The Star Petals Quilt Is Completed

I added an extra row to the top and bottom so the quilt wasn't square like it was in the instructions. After making the quilt top, the bins were still full. I could probably make ten quilts and not see much reduction in the collection. I found a flat sheet for $2.00 at a thrift shop. After I laundered it and checked for quality, it became the backing for this quilt. With the price of fabric escalating, a person has to look for a bargain somewhere. This will most likely end up being a donation quilt.
