My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


I am very happy with this quilt! It took exactly 9 months to complete, with a lot of life happening along the way.

Final size is 42"x30.5" after washing.

Stars are from 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars by Carol Doak, and the accompanying Facebook group.

Solids are Kona Cotton, batik is Anthology Lava Batiks in Moonstone. Red patterned fabric is from a pair of Victoria's Secret pajamas. Blue binding fabric is Keepsake Calico in Aqua Texture Linen-Look from Joann Fabric.

I embroidered Kaylee seeking a clear spot to jump up to on on of the color rays in her memory. That same star has a very visibly-mended ray as well after I had to repair a blown seam after washing-- I could have done an applique patch over it to make the mending less prominent, but that star already had a lot of repair-work done invisibly. I wanted to show the work that is still on-going from the time period I made that star.

Full details are at my PatternReview entry! See each of the stars up-close by using the lap quilt tag here in cohost. (I think I won this tag? Cool... But cooler still would have been more time for it to fill up.)

I'm so excited I got to share this quilt with you, cohost!
