theothermarion Stars for Samuel - This is for a young friend's third baby. Continuing in my tradition of not normal baby quilts, I started with black and gold fabric (In the top middle size star), and pulled out anything that looked like it fit. I am particularly happy with the batik in the middle of the center large star. I varied the size of the stars and got out graph paper to make sure it would work. This is one quilt for which I can answer that awful question, "How long does it take to make a quilt?" 17 hours, including design and fabric choice,but not including pre-washing. I backed it with flannel. It is quilted with random curlicues and stars.
