5 pointed star
 

I've posted on this quilt before and everyone has been a huge help. All I had was a photo and the panel when I started.

I think I need to finish the quilt with a row of 5 pointed stars. Initially, I thought a starry fabric would work, but it doesn't. I've not done any applique, though I don't see how it would be difficult, maybe just tedious. I'm not sure paper piecing is for me, though I'll give most anything a try.

What I would like is the method or pattern with the shortest learning curve as I'd really like to finish this quilt. I thought I was almost there, but the fabric I chose just doesn't work. I also like it enough to go to the trouble of the stars.

This is the photo/pattern:

Here's an easy one to do .........

It is for an 8" finished star, but if you want it smaller, then just reduce the size of the pieces.

Here is a way to make a 5 pointed star.

You could do this on the fusible then iron it to the fabric. You would then cut out the star, fuse it to a background & do a buttonhole stitch w/matching thread.

I like you boarder choice for under the blue stars. It goes nice with your other fabric selections. A fusible applique technique for the blue stars would be easiest. Best wishes on your completion.

Why not quilt stars into your border rather than worrying about applique? Just a thought...

I was in the same boat awhile back with my t shirt quilt. It just needed Stars. I used ms word and printed a star shape then made Mylar Template and cut them out. I think I needed 7. Then I watched a YouTube on satin stitch. Not my best skill. I practiced the inner and out points a few times and then did the deed they came out pretty well.
