Okay….. I resized this to be starting with a 20 inch feathered star center. I thought the pattern needed a final border so I added a 3” block pieced border to make the finished size 64x88.
Start is 20 inch feathered star with a 2 inch sashing border of the background fabric.
Next is the gifts…6 inch squares, bringing the size to 36x36.
Then the 2 inch background border. New size 40x40.
Now we have the first 3” pieced border block border on the top & the bottom. Now 40 x 46.
I left the trees at 9 inch blocks. It just seemed to be right. New size is 40x64.
Another beautiful 3” pieced border, but this time on all sides. New size 46x70.
Now we have the stars…thanks to Betty (eparys) for the tip about the spaced blocks. I used the spaced blocks and that made all the difference in the world. Now the size is 58x82.
And….just because I like to finish with a border, I added another 3 inch pieced border on all sides. Final finished size is 64x88.
I appreciated the comments and compliments about my efforts. It’s fun for me and keeps the brain in the thinking mode. Have fun & enjoy!
