Firstly, I need to thank everyone who has posted their versions of the Rhombus Star quilt pattern. These have each inspired me to try making one of these quilts. I have had the template ruler for sometime but did not have the confidence to have a go! The quilt is called 'star of the week' as this is an award given to pupils at the primary and junior school that one of my great nephews attends. I have made it as a thank you gift for a friend of his who is leaving this summer to go to high-school. She has been very kind to him during his first two years at school, helping him adjust to the various challenges all littleones face when they start school. By chance she is also the daughter of my yoga teacher. The fabric has been interesting to use, I bought several fat quarters from one of the continental discount supermarkets here in the UK (Aldi). I'm not sure I'd use it for a quilt again, but has been good to use for bags etc. My main concern with it is that it has faded on washing, however, now that I've seen the quilt made up I like the aged look that the fading has given it.
