It's a Finish! Crumby Stars

 Crumby Stars
from a constellation far, far away.

It's a finish! 
Ready for giving or gifting.

40 x 56
 Last year I worked on getting my crumbs (small weird sized scraps) under control. I made crumb fabric each month in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month. Crumb fabric was then made into a variety of blocks.   Eight inch Crumb Star blocks was one of those blocks. I made enough Crumb Stars for two small quilts. 
 For the Crumb Star background I used scraps in a complementary color. 
I Spy!

Batting was pieced. I used a soft pale green cotton sheet for the backing and quilted it with loops and stars on my DSM.  Binding was made from scrappy bits and pieces of leftover binding. 

I just found out one of my nieces is pregnant with twins and will give birth in July.  After I finish the other Crumb Star I may send her the two quilts.

This was my goal #10
for
Q1 Finish-Along

This quilt looks so soft and cuddly! Lots of sparkle in the colors and crinkle in the quilting.

It's lovely. I think sending "almost paired" quilts to twins is a fabulous idea. Just enough difference to treat them as individuals.
I've tried using crumb slabs but mine have never turned out. Must try your method sometime.

Super bright star quilt. Love it!

I would have guessed those star blocks were way bigger than 8 inch, but now they've turned into the perfect quilts for twins! How fun.

Crumbs are so much fun to use -- these stars are just perfect. And knowing that you'll have two of these beauties, what grand timing for gifting to your niece's twins.
