I will send a picture to Carol. I made those 50 Stars years ago. They lived in a stack on top of a bookcase for probably 7 years. Sometimes I would get them down & lay them out, play with them. Couldn't seem to find a way to put them together. Then in April I learned a special graduate was getting a new king sized bed & her favorite color was blue- not much time to make a king sized quilt for a June 3 graduation. Figured the star blocks were all done, ready- and Reaching for the Stars seemed like a good graduation theme- putting them on point made it the size I needed & the setting triangles gave me fun space for purple feathers. I had fun quilting that one & the purple thread is fabulous in real life. Once I had a plan it all came together quickly. I didn't use all 50 stars, have a few left over for another project. Maybe pillow shams....
