The color is a bit off with this photo, but it does show that my Woven Stars mini quilt is a flimsy and ready to quilt. The amazing thing to me is that my borders fit PERFECTLY - in spite of how small some of these pieces actually are. The little squares in the center of the stars started at 1.5", so they finished at 1". And the same with the 2 narrow borders - 1". No distortion was a big surprise to me when I put on the first side of the wider border. A perfect fit. That is a testament to how cutting accurately, sewing accurately, and pressing carefully really does improve with practice.
I also quilted the Hen House Stars quilt and attached the binding. Once I have that binding stitched down I'll show the finished project. It turned out better than I expected. A drizzly grey morning was a good time to sew - after a couple of conference calls for work.
Woven Stars looks fabulous! Sometimes distortion is caused by the fabric itself. I've been disappointed by some quilt shop fabric actually shrinking when dry pressed.
