The top is pieced together, and now it's time to make the quilt sandwich (backing layer, batting, top layer), baste it together, sew the quilting on it, then measure & make binding, and sew the binding on.

I still haven't decided what I'll do for the quilting-- if I feel confident about my stitch-in-the-ditch skills I'll follow the seam lines through the stars and then do some echo lines around them. If I don't, I'll probably do an all-over cross-hatch design with some echoed lines for interest.

I'm glad I got to share most of this quilt with you, cohost! You will find the completed project (and progress photos) at my Mastodon or PatternReview (check the sidebar)-- eventually. There's still plenty of work to do!

Solids are Kona Cotton, batik is Anthology Lava Batiks in Moonstone. Red patterned fabric is from a pair of Victoria's Secret pajamas. Stars are from Carol Doak's 60 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars and the accompanying Bonus Block of the Month Facebook group.

I guess I'll never get to delete the typo tag for the book that I made when I first did these stars. I'll tag it here for infamy.
