Another Star is a wrap!  I finished hand stitching the binding on the weekend but the rain has been coming down in droves... until today!  I was able to get a photo when I came home before the sun went down too far. You can see we had a wee skiff of snow today.

So this quilt has been in the works for several months but kept getting put aside while I worked on other things.  I won a bundle of Kaffe Fasset bits and pieces along with some Martha Negley prints at the guild "sew in" in September.  I used those along with some others from my stash.  I love the way the stars work together to create another pattern in the negative space.  I used the another star block pattern from Faith at Fresh Lemons and then placed the blocks on point and added in the setting triangles to finish it off.

I quilted the blocks on the straight lines but felt I needed to do something else.  I quilted each corner with lots of straight lines and in the centre of each star, I did a funky squared off stipple.

The back is kind of wild and crazy.  I got the crazy floral at the guild de-stash.  I cannot remember what it is.  Giant flowers.  Then I added some solids.  It is funny that the sun was just on the floral print when I took the picture.

So there it is.  My first finish of the new year.  Linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday!
