A Sawtooth Star Finish

It's a finish!
Sawtooth Stars
40 x 60


I cut 5.5 inch centers from a little pile of novelty scraps that were red, blue or yellow. I had a little box of 3 inch width scraps and used what I could from those scraps for backgrounds and star points. The rest of the backgrounds were cut from scrap chunks. 


I quilted it on my sewing machine with swirls. 

I had just enough pieces to make the backing.  The binding is a blue tone on tone Y2K fabric. Has it already been 25 years since Y2K? 

And sew on...

Finished a book! - The Stolen Sisters by Ann Bennett.  The second book in the series of 2 books, it is WWII historical fiction based on the Lebensborn Nazi eugenics program.  This book focuses on a later part of the program - the "Germanization" of kidnapped foreign children who met "Aryan" criteria.

Isn’t red-yellow-blue a perennial favorite? And in stars, to boot! Just charming—
