I thought this was goping to be a year+ project, but apparently not. Cheating a bit though as I'm making it with my Mom. <br /><br />I was going to use a hexagon between the stars but really like them a bit closer together like yours. I will have to go home and play a little :)Cillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908121685579749451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-20595243299291197062011-04-26T01:00:46.374-05:002011-04-26T01:00:46.374-05:00Welcome to the club! :-) I am also working at a st...Welcome to the club! :-) I am also working at a star quilt - with the quilt patis templates Jessica recommended.
