This is just great! I hope you don't mind but I've linked your post to our Fabric Moratorium thread - what you've done here by using up stash is what we're all about!

I personally love your quilt colors. I have lots of neutrals in my home and they are very easy to live with. The design of stars is a real game changer. Most quilts made with stars these days are in the blue tones. Yours is a welcomed change. This to me is a standout winner quilt. Nice job ekuw!

No I don't mind at all. When I say old fabrics I really mean it. I bet some were 20 - 30 years old! When I first started quilting I had a fellow quilter who was urged by her DH to start getting rid of the fabric she had. I assume she had it for years if it had been sitting around so long she was storing it in the attic. Anyway, I was happy to get it (and still am). Now trying to make an effort to not buy fabric. :D

Lovely pattern and colourway. Happy you could use what you had on hand.

That's a beauty, Ekuw! I love it. The colors are peaceful and calming. Love the back too! Another gem!

Please feel free to come on over to the Fabric Moratorium thread and participate or lurk, your choice. We are all about trying to make use of our stashes of fabric and avoiding shopping and there are stories for celebration and stories for commiseration there. :-)

I honestly didn't think any of your fabrics looked old or dated - whatever you did, it worked! :-D

I like the quilt but using the back to display that final star with a surround of checkerboard squares really attracted my eye. Nice use of what is at hand to create beauty. Keep up the good work. Yay for you.

What a lovely quilt! It has a vintage vibe to it. You did a great job all around.

Great job! Love the quil, the quilting and what you did on the backing.

Ekuw, this is gorgeous. I love the way the blocks look different depending on the colors used. And that back..... I love it! Great job all around.
