Sun Star Mini Quilt

 I had quite a few deadlines last week, but I'm happy to say I was able to meet all of them, whew! This Sun Star mini quilt for the Fab Little Quilt Swap was the biggest project on my list and I was so glad to get it off on the due date. My swap partner likes stars and either a rainbow theme or greens and aquas. Since green and aqua are my favs I chose that pallet.
The pattern I used is a paper piecing pattern called "Sun Star" from Craftsy. I really enjoyed the last one I made that was similar and finished this one in the same fashion with a patchwork squares border.

On the back I used a Riley Blake green chevron print which reminded me of the star points. For the quilting I outlined the star design and the border. Then I tried a couple of new techniques, pebble stitch and a loopy border design.
I am really starting to like paper piecing! The designs can be so complex and turn out so precise. The only downside is the fabric waste. But the better I get at the process, the less waste I have.

And a mini quilt is the perfect way to try out new quilting techniques. I think it turned out pretty well. :)
For the goodies I included a Moda Fandango "candy bar" stack, a Micron pen, colorful scissors, green and aqua washi tape, and a cute little sewing tin full of mints. I hope my partner enjoys it all!

  6. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
