star light star bright {update}






 Remember that little poem?

Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might, 
Have the wish I wish tonight

My daughter's scrappy charm cot quilt is all finished, just in time for the baby shower
Little cot quilts are my favourite fast finish, a great way to try out ideas, fabrics, color combinations,
and of course, just perfect for teaching purposes! 
And hopefully my daughter is hooked now,
I've got a bit of a scrappy fabric stash here on the shelf and I need her help to use it up!

Thank you! I can't tell you how many times I've added a 'wonky star' to my scrappy baby quilts over the years!

Love that one little red star. The blue squares are very pretty too! Surely your daughter will love it.

Lovely blues, made fabulous by the red star.
