Okay, I know flag day was yesterday, but I just didn't get this posted in time!
The inspiration for this quilt was the Washington, DC batik that I ended up just using for the border. I saw this batik at our regular quilt store - Capital Quilts - over a year ago and absolutely loved it, but wasn't exactly sure what direction to take it. I thought a star sampler would be a go well with it.
Each star is only 6 inches wide and this was definitely a challenge for me in precision piecing. I also designed each star myself, and all are based somewhat on the flying geese component. I'm very happy with the way it turned out!
Once I quilt it, I think it will probably end up being a wall hanging... perfect for a D.C. row house!
Looks really fantastic! I especially like the blocks on the right - very different and cool! Once again, you are making me want to sew! :)
