Starry Matter

Have you ever made something with one person in mind, but when you finished it, you wanted to give it to someone else?  That happened with this quilt.  After putting together the quilt top, I really wanted to give it to a different friend who is having a little girl, so that's what I'm going to do.

This is a smaller version of Jeni Baker's Scrappy Star Quilt.  I made the triangles about half the recommended size in order to make it a better size for a tummy-time quilt.

 I kept the quilting in the star theme.  Within the star is loopy lines with stars and in the background is Starry Mess.  Here's a view from the back:

 I was using the very last of my purple polka dot fabric for the binding.  I was really nervous that I wasn't going to have enough and that I'd have to go out looking for some way to match it.  Luckily, it made it all the way around with an inch and a half to spare!  Phew!  That's what I call a quilting success!!
