It's a finish!
36 x 45
5 inch squares...
...and a big star of stars...
...and some vertical line quilting.
And now it is ready for donation.
A few weeks ago the Wrap-A-Smile coordinator ( Ann) sent out a plea for 40-50 "smalls":
"Hope y’all can help! I’m still on the outlook for even more very small, very light-weight children’s quilts for WAS. During the past year I have received an amazing number of gorgeous, beautiful quilts but the majority have been larger and heavier. Rotaplast treats a variety of ages and they need me to pack a mix of sizes. Plus they have weight restrictions on the supply boxes that go by air for the medical missions.
I would love to receive 40-50 “smalls” (36 x 45-ish) by the end of the year. "...Ann

Yesterday I found my tin of little Dove chocolates hid from myself so I wouldn't see them and eat them all at once. I ate three of them and the little sayings inside were:
1. Don't let the hard days win.
2. Celebrate the luxury of being you.
3. Small steps can still walk miles. Go at your own pace.

I love this quilt! It's so simple, but the fun fabrics and the giant star really make it special.
I love the addition of the big star to shine brightly.
Beautiful small quilt! And the sayings in the Dove candies are good ones.
Oh I love your big star that the five inch squares accent! Well done!
I love that you hid you Dove chocolates and found them later - I almost always have a bag of Dove Dark chocolate put away I love the little sayings on them also. The blue quilt turned out great - someone is going to love it!
Great small quilt! Will check out the online guild. Our once every three year quilt show is over and I can breathe again.
What a fun quilt!
