Inspirational Star quilt (QW)

This is my inspiration and I know what I am going to do for a Project Linus quilt.  This quilt picture was from Pinterest, so I don't know the maker or the pattern name.  This quilt looks large, but I am going to customize it for the size I need for a NICU quilt for Project Linus.


The picture above as my inspiration and the off cuts from someone else's project, seen below, was all I needed to get started.  A new project is started.....lol.....with very little effort....lol!


The pile contains paired colour fabric with a white background fabric.  These soon became a whole bunch of half square triangles (HST), then into this star.  I like it!  Different colourway from the inspiration above, but just as nice, I think.  This star is a 6 1/2" square.


I took some more HSTs and assembled them into stars....then there were four.....lol.  By the end of today, I got this far.  The centre is done.  It measures 14" square including seam allowance.


I am going to add a white border, just like the inspirational quilt, and after that I am going to use the remaining HSTs to make a sawtooth border, all the way around.  Finally, I will add another wider white border to finish it off.  In the end I am estimating the whole quilt will measure 25 1/2" square.  Exactly what I need!

Take care everyone.
