50 Stars - Count 'em - 50!

A couple more each day and I now have all 50 stars that I need for the Stars All Around runners made. They are so sweet - just love the size of them - and they look great all together.
















The centre panels are different lengths (I made the second one a bit longer so I didn't waste the blocks that I had cut) so one will use 24 stars and the other 26.














I was a little concerned that the difference in the tones of the beiges and creams might be a bit too stark but I like it.

Some are more scrappy than others but I like the mix that way too.












The second centre panel is now  pressed so it's time to start sewing the borders (my apologies - I shouldn't have been shooting into the light)....M

That was a lot of stars to make but well worth it as it sets off the center sections beautifully.

It all looks great - the scrappiness gives it an extra dimension, too.

The runners look so good.....but I think you should also be making a whole quilt of those stars, they look gorgeous together!

Those stars are wonderful! Love the variation in background fabrics.:)

Your runners are looking wonderful, Marie! There is no issue with the darker backgrounds on some of the stars once you have combined them with the pieced centres. It is just the little "kick" it needs to keep things interesting!
