Here is the fabric:
The pattern:
I got all of my blocks cut, sewn, and cut into triangles, and then laid them all out. I did this in about 3 hours, it wasn't bad at all, I was impressed with how fast it came together. Here it is laid out:
Close up of star:
And this will be the border... I am thinking this will be a good wall hanging, it'll only be 70" x 70". I have a big wall it'll go on, that is if I decide it won't make a nice lap quilt. We'll see...
Here is my messy kitchen table... it has been taken over this past week. Do you like Spike? He's my cactus and keeps all hands off of my stuff :P My husband had him on his desk at work forever, now he's home and we don't know what to do with him. So he's my centerpiece for now.

Wow, you did all that in 3 hours? That's amazing. It's beautiful.
That is an amazing amount of work in 3 hours! WOW! Was your rotary cutter smoking?!
Great for you and it is beautiful!
:)
I love your fabric choices - great colours! And the star looks wonderful. Stars are my favourite blocks in any quilt.
Heather, those are some really pretty fabrics :-)
To this non-quilter (but great admirer) 3 hours doesn't seem very long! Oh, I can just imagine that you were having so much fun. :D Your family surely understands and makes allowances for when Mom gets in the "zone"!
The quilt is gorgeous. I am sure your family will forgive you, all it takes with mine is a nice dinner, LOL.
My lower jaw is hanging down on my chest. WOW! WOW! Did I say wow? I can't believe how gorgeous that is!
As for Spike, I love him! I have such a soft spot for cacti. :)
Spike is just...Spike. I mean that cactus. It is quite magnificient.
I have had my eye on this pattern for some time... is 70x70 the largest size on the pattern?
Thanks for sharing your star. You have inspired me to make one.
