Carrying on with the big blocks, I made this 9-inch star using the new Inklingo 3″ diamond collection. Although I’m not quite sure how, somehow this star will be incorporated into the beach quilt. I used half diamonds — which made the star more fun to stitch. This is definitely the largest star I’ve ever made. It’s absolutely HUGE!
The back. I am so glad I learned this method of pressing as with all those seams meeting at the centre it could have been a nightmare. But it lies lovely and flat and not the least bit bumpy at the middle.
A contemplative Smudge, waiting for — maybe a kitty toy or an evening treat of some yogourt?
And Lester with a little stuffed toy. Notice the paw on the remote control. He’s definitely a male cat!

Oooo pretty!! That star will be perfect in your beach quilt, it looks like it could be a star fish.I think Smudge is thinking of a way to get that toy from Lester while he's engrossed in a TV program.Crispy

That was my first thought that it would go nicely with the beach quilt. I love it! Cats are just so funny. Lester even looks like he is getting ready to say which show he would like to watch.

A 9" star doesn't sound so big to me but after your little teeny pieces it must look like a giant. This is the size you should be making the baby quilts out of, and same the little pieces for yourself.
