That star again!

Remember this plain and simple top?  Well, it was just begging me to do something with it to jazz it up a tad. 

Enter, my favourite star.  Yep .... you knew I would be using that star again in another quilt, didn't you?  What a difference it makes with the addition of red circles and stars!  I liked the top before, but just love it more now.

A number of you had asked how I do my stars.  I have become quite fond of the English Paper Piecing (EPP) method for my applique.  After trying needle turn, freezer paper, etc., this is my method of choice these days.  It is more time consuming, but for me, there is no rush.  There is a lot of scrap paper hanging around our home and this is a good way to use it up. 

This is the back.  Do you see that arrow that is at the top?  The spokes of the stars are different sizes and the arrow is there to tell me which way to align all my stars onto the top so that they are all consistent.

This is the front.  If you look closely, you can just barely see the circle outline where the navy blue circle will be sewn.

Have a great day!
