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!
