STARS IS THE CHALLENGE FOR THE ISLAND BATIK AMBASSADORS FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
Who doesn't like stars?
So as I was looking for ideas, I came across my little stash of Missouri Star Quilt Company's
BLOCK magazines
I saw this pattern and loved it.
I ordered this Rhombus ruler and loved it.
I loved it so much that I made two quilts but the second one will have to wait for it's appearance another time.
I used the Island Batik 5" stash builders, this strip was totally perfect for this ruler. Unfortunately Island Batik no longer carries these 5" strips. POOOOOORRR ME!!
Aurifil white 50 weight thread
Hobbs Black batting
I have to say, there was no shadowing of the seams at all or any stray threads that happen to show through after quilting.. I did enjoy using this batting
Now......this was not my first idea for this months challenge so.....
tomorrow I will show you that quilt.
