Once I got the star blocks all put together, I realized that I did not want to go much bigger with this quilt. The star blocks are 12" each so that the piece was 36". The pattern shows three borders of 2" each. A light one first, a red one, and then another light one. I had enough of the same background fabric to cut 1 3/4" strips to go around. That gave some space around the star blocks before binding. I used pieces of pinks and reds that were used in the quilt to create the binding. Though I liked the quilt as the designer made hers, this makes me happy.
Today is the monthly meeting of The Sew 'n Sews. It is about a 90 minute drive for me today to get there. I need to gather my stuff up and get ready to go. Another post soon. This is post 198. I have a give-away coming on post 200, so be on the look out.

It looks awesome, Karen. Only you and the designer know that she added borders to hers. I love the scrappy binding as well.
Enjoy your time with the Sew 'n Sews.
Wow! You are quick at putting things together. That is just beautiful. I so love red :)
So cute! I love the redwork stitching inside the stars -- I'm always looking for new sets for embroidered quilts, and this one is perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
That quilt came out so adorable!
Oh, it's so darn cute. The houses are so much fun to stitch! I'm still plugging away on mine. LOL
Can't wait for show and tell from your group.

What a cute quilt! I love redwork and using them for the centers of the stars is really cute. Winona

It looks just the right size to hang somewhere. You should name it Goldilock's house. . . .not too big, not too small, it's just right!

HOpe you had a safe time and and a good time once you got there. Lovely little quilt too. HUgs, Marie
Karen! I love this. You have a great eye for "delightful." Also, that scrappy binding is PER-FECT!
That is lovely, and I too love what you did for the border. Hope you had a good day at your meeting.
That's adorable!
Wow.. already finished.. amazing.. fantastic work... I do know how long it takes to just stich all the redwork... pheew..:o)
Just wonderful Karen!
This is so beautiful! I love how you finished yours with the floating light border, and the scrappy binding!
I belong to a Sew and Sews group here :)
Love this piece, it's so pretty. What a quick finish, you just posted blocks a week ago!
Your little quilt looks great. I love scrappy bindings made from leftover fabric.
Have fun with your sewing friends.
Congratulations on your finish, Karen. Beautiful work!!
You mean you finished this quilt just within 7 days? I have read about a new stitchery project and just a week later you write about a finish? You are amazing, and you tell me I am creative.... you are the one that is extremely creative!
