If you don't have problems with HSTs, you might try one of these arrangements. I put my copyright on the photo, but you're welcome to copy the arrangement.

It's great. I like the idea of the stars, how clever. It's so great to be able to use those small pieces sitting around and the results a homey quilt in the spirit of the original ones made years ago. I really like your quilt. Oh no, another on my TODO list.

Seeing your post makes me so very grateful for this entire website. I have gotten the best information, inspiration and help with quilting through this particular website and I hope it continues for a very long time. It is a bright spot in my life. I have been wanting to scale down the "stuff" in my life, use up my stash and this quilt looks like an ideal way to do just that.

This turned out great ~ you've inspired me !!!!

AVQuilter 06-12-2011 08:04 AM

Now your quilt shines with the stars...great idea. I also like scrappy and have added flowers and vines. Long time ago but may have to go back to it as you have motivated me.

Sylvie45 06-12-2011 08:21 AM

What a terrific idea - I love it.

KathyKat 06-12-2011 08:44 AM

The stars worked! That quilt really looks great but I always love scrappy quilts...the stars made it outstanding.

Mariposa 06-12-2011 08:47 AM

Neat quilt! The yellow wonky stars are a terrific addition to the scrappy blocks! I may use this idea for myself! Thanks for sharing!

The stars really 'make' the quilt. I love free form stars. :D

jlm5419 06-12-2011 09:52 AM

I like this; it's a happy quilt. Bright and cheerful.

grannypat7925 06-12-2011 10:10 AM

Boy, you nailed it. It is spectacular!

4girlsmimi 06-12-2011 10:19 AM

What an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing. I really like the way the stars pop out. Are they appliqued on top?

JJean 06-12-2011 10:42 AM

I love love it!

PS Stitcher 06-12-2011 10:43 AM

That is awesome!! I love it! :thumbup:

A fun way to use up scraps, love the stars

Pam J 06-12-2011 11:54 AM

Absolutely wonderful! Dumb question on my part, but how do you fit the different size stars in? Wonderful, wonderful quilt; thanks for sharing!

nstitchs 06-12-2011 12:00 PM

Love it is there a pattern available?

Homespun 06-12-2011 01:39 PM

I love, love, love this!!!

emsgranny 06-12-2011 01:53 PM

So did you applique stars ? Did you use any stabilizer?

This is such a great Idea!!! I can see some large funky flowers, circles, hearts - VWs or fish for a guy. Great idea. It does make it pop!!!

huntannette 06-12-2011 02:27 PM

love it!!!

moonwolf47 06-12-2011 04:12 PM

I still have many 4 patches left for another quilt, any suggestions?

That is an absolutely beautiful quilt!! I love scrappy quilts!!!!
