I totally intended to stick with the grey and white Feathered Stars but then a new Inklingo collection was released yesterday. For tiny 3″ LeMoyne Stars. And I couldn’t resist.
I have had this fabric in my stash for ages, but never quite knew what it was intended for. It has an odd repeat – 7.5″, to be exact.
So I looked and one of the suggested custom sizes for printing the diamonds of the wonderful tiny LeMoyne Star was exactly 7.5″. It was meant to be. So in a flash I had eight perfectly printed sheets of diamonds – enough for 16 of the little stars using the no-waste Inklingo fussy cutting/printing method.
First I made this one.
Then this one. And there are 14 more waiting for me. And those 16 little stars will turn into a doll’s quilt at some point.
Then I got an idea. I have loads of 5″ charms, all washed and waiting for just the right project. So I decided to try and sure enough I got eight perfect little diamonds out of a 5″ square with very little waste.
So another little LeMoyne Star just had to be made. And this has given me an idea – wouldn’t it be fun to make a quilt of 3″ LeMoyne Stars in which every star was of a different fabric? I think that may go on my to-do list.
But for now I’m going back to the grey and white Feathered Stars. I am really, really trying to stick with that one so I can get it finished sooner than later and then I’ll feel free to get on to something much more colourful and fun.

That is the most perfect pic of the kitties! It depicts their personalities too. 😊
