I finished the star quilt top side. It still needs a border and backing, then to be sandwiched with cotton batting and quilted.
The stars look a lot nicer up close. The big picture obscures so much detail.
Now I'm working on the backing. I think most quilters use a plain fabric or even a bedsheet for the backing. I don't want to buy more fabric. Plus, there was a lot in my fabric stash, and I want to clean out the majority of that stash. So, I'm making a simple patchwork backing using mostly the same fabrics and some others I had squirreled away.
Technically, this will make the quilt reversible. However, the backing is much simpler and will go much faster compared to the front.
