Fabric Choices

I had a really tough time deciding what to use for my first star quilt in the book. I reduced the size of the original quilt by half, but still when fussy cutting it's hard to come up with 16 exactly the same diamonds when one is working from their stash!

So here's what I am using:

I took the photo four times using different settings and it still came out yellow.

But when my helper got in the way, the colors came out better.

Go figure!

Next is cutting. 

Use LOTS and LOTS of starch.

Especially if you are fussy cutting.
