Paper Pieced Star Finish

After having this star kit in my cabinet for at least 2 years,
it is finally made.
The kit called for the four stars to be placemats,
but 12" placemats are too small.
My original plan was to make the stars into a baby quilt,
but making four of these was more than enough!

It became a table runner.



This is a large table runner,
or could be a bed runner if one was so inclined.



It still amazes me how perfectly the border fabric goes with the stars.



I had to piece the backing and used the fat quarters
from the kit that were supposed to be the placemat backings.
For the binding, I used the extra fabric along the edge
and left the solids in place.
It adds a little pop of color along the edges.


This is ready to place on my table,
since my husband told me I can't give this one away.

Happy Quilting!
