So this is Mikas' quilt, her birthday was Saturday. It's small, about 38" square. I used almost scraps entirely. The only purchased fabrics were the white, the brown floral, the binding and the minky. I had never done a paper piecing before and the center is done with four and then sewn together. After I did that I really didn't have any clue what I was going to do next. I saw some perfect castle fabric but it isn't due out till January so I decided I should just make castles. That was paper pieced as well. It really was a labor of love since those pieces are small and labor intensive! All in all I do think it turned out great and she does love it. I had never done a star block either so it was all new to me. Perfect quilt to learn on though since any mistakes are minor and a 5 year old is happy regardless.

Love it and the minky back...looks so cozy!
hopefully you remember me. I am JoLyns husband, Brians sister melissa. I found your blog off MyLyns blog. This quilt is goergous. I can't believe this. I would love to be able to make something like this. Maybe someday you can give me some pointers. Hope you don't mind me stalking your blog :)
That's so amazing!
