Yikes, Eparys, I never knew that about golden stars and have used them in hero quilts. Better look into that before doing it again, huh?!!
But continuing reading of this thread has put me in mind of a year long Brown Bag Trade I did once with my Friendship group of 10 members. One of our parameters was that we could cut up the top we received (seriously!!!) and sew it back together.
I chose to do this with one quilt of vertical strips of flying geese -- it was a new quilter's piece and she felt if wasn't very well done because the geese in each vertical strip didn't line up with the geese in the adjoining strip.
Here is a graphic of how I cut it apart and put it back together. She loved it!
