Probably a year ago I saw an episode of Sewing with Nancy that featured a quilt author named Lynn Harris. She was making quilts from all manner of scraps, and a quilt filled with teeny tiny 3”(!) stars was one of them. I knew I needed to make that quilt!

I bought the book Every Last Piece and hit the scrap pile. It takes 434 3” stars and a background fabric. The centers of the stars are scraps of printed fabrics, and their points are all solids.

Here are a few I finished today.

And a few more I finished at an all day Open Sewing event with my Guild. It was nice to be focused just on the stars and not have pets or chores for distractions.
