This is my entry for the Mini Quilt category.

I made this mini quilt that is currently a pillow cover for the Sew Mama Sew Pillow Challenge.

I'm calling it Stile Stars.

Liberty Pillow Challenge - Front


Quilt Stats:

Name: Stile Stars
Size: approx. 17.5" x 17.5"
Fabrics: Liberty Stile Collection from Sew Mama Sew Challenge
Pattern: My own design from flickr inspirations + bloc loc rulers
Quilting: Hand quilted by me and Machine quilted by me on my Pfaff Performance 2058
Started : September 1, 2013

I got these fabrics around the same time I got some bloc loc rulers. And it just seemed perfect to add my new tool with my old favorite...stars
Oh I'm just so predicable.  Hee hee.

These colors were so fun to work with.  I wanted to add as many of the fabrics as I could and I adore all of them.

Liberty Pillow Challenge - Back

My stepdaughter helped inspire what would be the backing as she claimed this would be hers, but right now it's being loved by all.
