I showed you this last year — my very first quilt, which has been languishing in a closet forever. Obviously, I didn’t know how much I had to learn! There are some pretty obvious holes in the centres of those stars. I still love the colours I used in it though, and don’t want to just throw it out. 
Rose Marie over at Applique ‘n Patch Quilting suggested I do a small star to applique on top of those centres. Brilliant! So we went on a hunt for the perfect yellow for the little stars. Found it. Printed a whole bunch of .75″ diamonds using Inklingo Collection 3 and started making the little 6-point stars. I think this is going to look fabulous when it’s done! It will be quite bright, which was the plan in the first place, and these little stars will cover the holes perfectly. Thanks, Rose Marie. Now to just finish making enough of them and applique them on — and then this will be ready to baste and quilt. 🙂
And, to finish off the week, yet another Smudge lounging pose. They are endless!

It’s amazing that this is your very first quilt…it’s not a beginner pattern at all. Looks like you were born to quilt! The yellow stars are a great idea, too. I usually use buttons to cover wonky centers–but buttons aren’t always suitable for quilts…so this is a great idea.
