Your Stars are beautiful, and can't believe you would be willing to make one to give away. I just finished my first "Star Spinner", which took nearly two years. I didn't know what I was getting into as a new quilter in Feb. 2011!!!
What a learning experience -- so many new techniques in this one project -- piecing strips side by side, matching points (sooo many points), squaring the large blocks, stitch-in-the-ditch, and then learning to make bias binding and the technique for attaching the binding on inside corners. I decided I wanted to be able to do all those techniques well before I applied them to my Star. I am glad that I did because I really got a wonderful reaction at Quilt Guild yesterday when I shared my table topper at Show & Tell time.
