I tried using different fabrics for the pieces like the pattern-

but I don't think I had enough strongly contrasting colours.
I thought mine looked chaotic. I didn't add borders because I thought that would "soothe" it, and I wanted to just keep the chaotic look.
I machine quilted continuous curves in the stars.
I like how the half square triangles that weren't quilted pop out.
I used silk batting and quilted it with Bottom Line thread - a 60Wt polyester thread. It is 12" square.
I pinned a ribbon on the back and hung it on an old rake with the EQ BOM quilt.
These small quilts are so much fun to make - thanks Kathy (A Sentimental Quilter).
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!❤
