Once a year our church has a baked goods auction to raise money for our teens to use for trips throughout the year. Some people make items to go for the auction as well. I saw a picture of a star string the baby quilt on someone's blog and loved it. I wanted to totally use my scrap stash for this quilt and only had 1 week to make it from start to finish. I didn't have time to make the star point blocks completely string so I used white blocks for the foundation and only sewed colored strips on 1/2 of the block for the points. I had some muslin fabric that had a design printed on it and used it for the backing. I bought verigated thread and quilted the design printed on the backing fabric on my DM. I got it finished just in time for the auction. It made $75 and the lady that bought it gave it to a lady at church that was having a baby. It was one of the highest auctioned items that night. Everyone loved the quilt at the baby shower.
