So Many Stars

This is my first try at paper-piecing and a king-sized quilt.  During the class, we could select which stars we wanted from the book, '50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars' by Carol Doak.

I used fabric from my stash, the batiks, my mother's stash (the yellow) and new fabrics, the print and associated prints.  The print that repeats in all the stars was my starting off point in selecting fabric for this quilt.   With all the bright colors, the width of the black sashing was important as it calmed and reined in the colors.  After years of pondering how to have this quilt long-arm quilted, I finally had it quilted this year and it is awaiting the binding.
