postage stamp type quilt.
 

took this top off the wall today so I could move on to other things. may add borders, but that will have to wait until I add frame extension. Squares finish at 1.5", about 2600 hundred pieces at this point. I want to thank a member here for the star idea ;-)

What a great way to use up scraps - did it make you crazy? It is very colorful

Beautiful quilt, love the idea for the stars.

just love the colour.... and the stars
very nice

It really is great!

a little bit towards the end ;-) I really had to push myself not to give up until it got to a decent size.

I love it - never saw a postage stamp quilt with stars. I think that makes it special. Looks like a lot of work!

Beautiful!! Love the stars in it!

Yes love the stars. I am in awe of those many many patches.

Beautiful! How will you quilt it? Please post a picture of the quilting when done. Scrap quilts are the best!

It is really on accomplishment. Can't wait to see it done....

I have no idea. This one will have to percolate for a while ;-)

I wish I could say I thought of it. I was inspired by a member here. I really wish I could remember her name. I've since lost the post.

Very nice, what size are the blocks you made with the postage stamps? Where they 16 patch or bigger than that?

I have been doing 9 patches with my leaders and enders, but thinking maybe I should be doing bigger.

The stars really make it special and you have placed them nicely to keep the eye moving.

It is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Great Job!

the basic block is a 4-patch. I filled in around the small stars with single patches. I did the quilt in 12 panels trying to mix up the big and small stars.

DebraK, your quilt is beautiful! I want to encourage you not to let it set too long before you finish (like I tend to do) because your quilt is so beautiful it deserves to be finished and displayed and marveled over. GO girl!!:):)

What a bright pretty quilt. I really like how the stars are different sizes and how star points are not all the same color.
