It's a finish!
String Stars
48.5 x 65
I started making the Stars in 2024 to use up shorter strings. I finished the top in February 2025.
I big stitch hand quilted it with navy perle cotton thread #8.
The back.
And sew on...

I forgot to mention that on Saturday I received some FQ winnings from the Stashbuster's UFO Challenge fourth quarter 2025 random drawing. If you have a lot of UFOs like I do the UFO Challenge is a good way to get them finished and/or move them forward. Two FQs and $1 is the entry fee. Name gets put on a list. As people complete UFOs name goes to the bottom of the list and name goes into quarterly drawing pot. It is never too late to enter if you care to join us.
