Following the Beothuk Star

My Beothuk Star is shining bright today. 

The Beothuk Star QAL @ mmm! Quillts

My Beothuk Star QAL Began Here

with this lovely 

Seaglass Fabric by Nancy Rink Designs

I played around with the fat quarters and yardage I had 

until I came up with this plan for Version 3.

My first block was completed here.

I  played with the fabric and the layout because I wanted to 

use a square of the sea glass shards on white in the center on my stars.

It also required me to sew the quilt into three sections:

 a top section and bottom section

and a center strip. 

When I studied the layout above I decided to add some of the white

 to frame the dark blue center .

I achieved this by sewing sew and flip squares to the blue background corners,

giving this a "star in a square" look.

I really like the focal point this adds to the center of the quilt.

I also decided to "float" the stars by adding an inner border strip 

of the white glass shard fabric.

When I added the outer border, I added star points

with sew and flip corners to the blue background strips.

I am really happy with how this quilt top looks!

I am linking up my completed to the

Linky Party @ mmm! Quilts

There are some very inspiring finishes in the links.

Thank you, Sandra @ mmm! Quilts
