I have been working on making these off and on for about a year. I have most of the stars done, now putting on the borders. These are the only two I have borders on. 28 more to go!

Those are such beautiful colors! It reminds me of some pictures of space, clouds and nebulas, that are colored by their elements that I have seen.

Thanks again, everyone. This is my progress so far. 6 more! It will probably be a couple of weeks before I have a free sewing day, but eventually I will get them done.

WOW batiks are very expensive in the UK so not very many people use them..

I love those stars.

Can you tell me what the name is of the 2nd star that is in your post

Quilt4u 07-06-2009 08:37 AM

Beautiful.

butterflywing 07-06-2009 10:07 AM

the way the stars are separately framed is a great idea for sashing.

FancyFoot 07-06-2009 12:22 PM

Lookin great...excellent colors :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I can't wait to see it completed. :wink: :wink: :wink:

johnette 07-06-2009 03:43 PM

Butterflyspain,
It is all the same pattern, I just vary the color placement on each block. I am trying to make each one different. If you need more specifics let me know. Or are you talking about the big star? It is just an 8 point star that I drew out on grid paper to use half square triangles. I don't want to attempt diamonds.

RedGarnet222 07-06-2009 05:36 PM

woo wooo! Those are really pretty on the black background! Keep posting as you go ok?
