Seeing Stars

This is what I did while at my quilt retreat last week. I made tiny stars.

Three inch stars. Seventy five three inch stars.

I was inspired by this fabulous quilt by Gwen Marston.

It is simply stunning. The stars just sparkle in a sea of beautiful hand quilting.

I wanted to try a few other things while I was there but I just couldn't get away from the stars.

I took two suitcases of fabric because I never know what I will want to do until I am there.  I didn't use much of what I took just lots of tiny pieces.

My stars have print centers and solid points.

I decided to use a different setting than Gwen used and calculated that I need 153 of the little stars. I am half way there!

I am having a lot of fun making them.
