To make the fun star blocks, we used this tutorial from Diary of a Flutter Kat. It makes 17.5-inch blocks, so the quilt came together really quickly.
On the back I used these bold prints from Heather Bailey's Pop Garden, along with some lime dots and a strip of rainbow argyle (because it fit? And it's rainbow?).
More rainbows on the binding. Felt like the right thing to do!
I'm excited to send it off to its new home! Was that convincing? :)
I'm also linking up to Sew Modern Monday!

It's wonderful! It would be really hard to let that one go, for sure. :)
It's fantastic! I think I may have just found what I want for my bee month in January. :)
This is beautiful, and I echo the above statement - I may use this block for my month in Stash Bee!
Looks great. Someone will be very happy with that quilt.
What a beautiful finish!!
I think you should make one for yourself - it is a great quilt! And the rainbow stripey binding was a perfect choice.
cheers!

Ooh, I really love this block! I'm a total sucker for rainbows, too.
Fabulous. I'd have a hard time giving it up.
Simply stunning! I don't blame you for wanting to keep it, I would be tempted too! You're doing a good thing sending it off though :)
Lovely! I like it better the way you made it without the sashing as shown on the original tutorial.
Love the bright rainbow colors with the white stars. Your kindness will cheer someone else on!
It's beautiful, Katie! You don't sound like a jerk at all, I'd be tempted, too!
be a jerk... make another one!!! ;) xo
These blocks are so pretty! I'm gonna need to make something like this soon. Thanks for the link!
I'd have a hard time letting it go too - it is gorgeous!!
What a beautiful finish, Katie! I just love it!
This is fantastically brilliant and I have pinned it...I need one, too! What a wonderful, happy quilt, just love it!!
Oh, this is awesome! I love it Katie!
I most certainly understand why you would want to keep this lovely for yourself! So bright and cheerful and fun!!
That is such and awesome quilt! I've had her tutorial marked - I need to squeeze it into the schedule!
