I am completely in love with this quilt.
It's going to be so hard to take this one to the post office!
This quilt uses Jennifer's starflower block tutorial --
my choice for my month as the quilter for the Peace Circle of do. Good Stitches.
This quilt will be donated to My Very Own Blanket.

It was so much fun to have these blocks arriving in the mail every few days!
It was tricky to get the points to line up well --
each quilter had very slightly differently sized blocks --
but in the end I think it's quite a stunning quilt.
I debated adding sashing in between the stars --
but decided that I liked the intense, bright colors right next to each other better.
All of the yellows and oranges make me think of fall,
and I used a yellow binding to keep it cheerful and light!

For the binding, I used Rachel's ZigZag binding tutorial.
I have never been a fan of machine stitched binding -- until now!
I absolutely love this, Rachel!
