The instructions in the magazing for reproducing the top provided templates for cutting and piecing triangles into diamonds and then into the stars. Straight pieced seemed too difficult for me, so I modified a paper piecing fabric, and I did not make this as a charm quilt; other than the double pink background print, all the fabrics were from my stash, and mostly scraps from other quilts. While finishing this quilt, my cat Tippi got very sick. She recovered, but I at the time I thought this might be the last quilt she "helped" me on.
The paper piecing pattern came from Marcia Hohn's Quilters Cache -- a pattern called Morning Stars. The backing fabric is a lightweight upholstery print, so the quilt is heavy.
