The Star Petals Quilt Is Completed

The pattern, "Star Petals" came from the book, Scrap Basket Bounty by Kim Brackett. I pulled squares from my 5" squares, 4 1/2" squares and 2 1/2" squares that are all sorted into bins to create this project. 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.

Starting A New Project

I've got 24 more blocks to make, then there will be enough for this quilt top. The pattern is called "The Ruth Quilt", by Eric...
