oh my stars....



there is a great quilt that i believe is on almost every Pintrest quilter's board titled "Oh My Stars".....i pinned it in a couple different color variations, but i kept thinking to myself where have i seen these stars before, didn't i make a quilt like this many years ago, taught it as a class, did some digging and here it is only i did the stars in the scrappy homespuns not the background.....and now someday i'll be making it again with the scrappy background because i love it that way too.....
