two little quilts get their bindings: pt 2

I promised you two little cuddle quilts and this second one is just as sweet as the first one. 

My scrappy 'star hollow & 9patch' quilt was a lot of fun because, with the "floating" stars method, every star point is perfect. No stress! I used a pattern by Jolene @blueelephantstitches, from her 'Scrap Quilt Diary' book.

Again, I dipped in & out of my fabric baskets, selecting a nice scrappy mix of old & new in toasty browns/pinks/oranges. I decided the blue shades would be/should be an accent only with limited use.
The backing fabric is a Heather Ross Strawberry print.

Channeling my inner Jolene vibe again, I opted for straight line quilting by *Leeanne @quiltmekiwi.
And for binding, I chose another blue & white stripe - cottage rose by Alex Anderson - it’s a clever way to pull out those blues, otherwise they sorta get lost. (for those who don't know, blue is really my absolute fav colour!) (for just about everything!).
Quilt measures 45" x 54".

*Leeanne was able to load both these little quilts onto the same backing & batting ...

I'm linking up today's post with my three favourite linky parties, see R) side bar.

Until next time, Linda
