So happy to be finished with this one! I sent my Innocent Crush stash to my VIBee friends and asked them to make star blocks for me. They sent back this collection. Thanks so much, ladies! I never would've had the patience or creativity to come up with these.
From the front, the quilting looks like random lines...
But from the back, you can tell that I echo quilted this giant star. Thanks again to Kelly for this A+ quilting suggestion. I love it!! I used Jeni's tutorial for the giant star. I just made it a little smaller. I used the First Impressions print from Innocent Crush, plus some Kona Coal at the bottom to fill up the space.
The binding is Kona Mulberry. (Kindly ignore the green sludge in the ditch in the background. I picked this industrial location to add an edgy quality to my photos. Just kidding, it's my backyard.)
I'm pretty impressed that I remembered to include my VIBees label on the back!
I'm linking up to Celebrate Color!

ooo! I really liked the front when I first saw it, but the back is stunning! I love the giant star.
Katie, this is so cool! Love the quilting! It looks really cool on the front, but completely awesome when you see the back! You totally should have kept going with the edgy industrial thing!
