Jo Morton--Stars Homework

Between weeding and meetings, I have been working on my Jo Morton homework.  The stars have been sewn together on the diagonal.  The batting covered foam core board makes the task so much easier!

I do not have to plan for imperfections in my work--the imperfections come naturally.  I call my quilting primitive rather than precise.  Time to add the borders.  Since the stars are red and blue, I decided to use red as the inner border and blue as the outer border.

I thought about using this fabric for the outer boarder, but it seemed to overwhelm the quilt.  The blue fabric I choose for the outer border  has gold in the fabric which I thought worked better with the gold setting fabric.

While I was at the fabric store I also found this fabric, Civil War Ladies by RJR Fabrics.

Now, for the quilting and binding!
