Blue Stars of January

This is my first finish of the year. I used about 5 fat quarters and other misc sizes of batiks I had on hand. Found that border fabric at Goodwill a while back and was surprised to find it worked so well. I just did a gentle wave quilt motif with my walking foot. Harder that it looked, but I do like how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Oh that's beautiful. You did a great job. The border fabric is terrific with the others.

I think it's fantastic! I love the blues. I need to go to Goodwill more often, but usually here, it's prices are too high.

Very pretty. I really like how you set the stars interspersed with the squares. Really does look like a night sky. Wonderful distribution of different blues and some purples. Great find on that border fabric too!

Gorgeous night sky. I too show at our local arc to see what I can find. I've picked up some Jinny Beyer fabric and other good pieces there. Garage sale finds are precious too. Good job and thanks for posting.

The magenta bits, just a few, really make the quilt. It's lovely.

Gorgeous! Unbelievable that this came out of stash and is not a kit. Wonderful colorway.

I love your quilt too! What a fun, starry sky! It's beautiful, ekuw.

Very pretty! Can't believe you found such cool fabric at GW--ours never has actual quilting fabric--only old curtains. You definitely scored and it goes great with our quilt.

Beautiful quilt. The blues are refreshing. Nice find at GW. It is a great place to keep an eye on.

If you are looking for a name for your quilt, I suggest "Stars Twinkling in the Night Sky". So beautiful.:thumbup:

Oh! I like that name :) The stars were made with the Tri-Rec tool. I f you are a star lover I recommend it. I don't usually have good luck finding fabric at GW, but the blue piece was a little over 2 yards and looked like a good blender so I bought it. Recently the GW in my area raised the prices on fabric from $1 a yard to $2 a yard which makes me ask myself if I need or can use the fabric. At $1 a yard much more likely to impulse buy LOL. It still beats LQS prices right?
