Strippy Christmas Stars

Hello!  Just today I finished binding this cute little quilted wall hanging.  Back in January I was experimenting with the Creative Grids Strippy Star template designed by Deb Heatherly.  Creative Grids are THE BEST, and this is such a fun template to play with.  I also kind of like that it looks weird, and you can't really figure out how it works just by looking at it.  It's a pretty cool tool, though!  Check out the video about it here.

I was trying to use up some smallish scraps of Christmas fabrics, and I liked fussy cutting the center squares.  That blue star with the mitten in the middle is a finished 3" block.  It is easy to make even little blocks with this template.  The star in the top picture with the present in the center is 4-1/2" finished.

I practiced some custom quilting on this little guy, and I kept the scrappy theme by using pieces of leftover binding from table runners.  Below are close-up pics of the red star and the quilting on the back of it.

If you love star blocks, I encourage you to give this template a try.  I've got to show you one more block (below) that I pieced - a star in a star with a little snowflake in the middle!

I've got my first new Christmas decoration for 2017 ready to hang.  I hope I inspired you to try something new.  Have a great weekend!

I'll be linking up over at Crazy Mom Quilts Finish It Up Friday.  :-)
