Oh My Stars Quilt

For our guild Christmas Party

we were challenged to make a quilt

that will be used for

the decorations.

It was a "crayon challenge"

and the color I drew

randomly from the bag

was

"Tropical Turquoise"



The  pattern I chose was

Oh My Stars

by Callie of

Make It Do



 A throw size

50" X 68"

I downloaded my pattern from a PDF file

from

www.make-it-do.com

found

Here

Love Callie's version in red :)

 All of my quilt was made from scraps

which stays with Callie's theme

of Make It Do

In today's world we could learn a lot from

 the old Depression Era saying

Use It Up

Wear It Out

Make It Do

Or Do Without

 The backing is even from a piece I found in my stash.

 I used the colors in the birds

to pull for the scraps

on the front.

My many thanks to Pat Roche

for the machine quilting :)

All labeled and ready for our Christmas Party

next Tuesday night.

Which, by the way, I will

NOT be able to attend :(

*for a very good reason,

that I will share with you tomorrow :)
