Finishing your Summer Stars

I hope everyone has had fun sewing along with us.
If you have your eight blocks completed it is time
to put your little quilt together. The Finishing
instructions are simple.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
From border fabric cut:
two 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" rectangles
two 2-1/2" x 12-1/2" strips
two 2-1/2" x 16-1/2" strips
Use the photo above for the simple layout.
Sew your rows together and add your borders.
Quilt as desired, I used a simple cross hatch and bind.

    Loved these little stars. Made two sets--one in fall colors and the other in CW repros.

    I finished my small quilt. I have never done one that small. I enjoyed the whole process and plan to make more small ones. I am also new to the fabrics and love those also. Thanks for this project.
