I did show this to you when it wasn't finished, but now it's finished and I'm pleased with it. There is nothing tame about it....wild colors (all batiks) and a pattern that certainly doesn't have the usual "traditional" look I seem to favor. BUT...it was a fun quilt to make and I'm glad I have it done now. It was from the Tesselating Stars pattern designed by Gyleen Fitzgerald, whose pineapple ruler I used for another wall-hanging I showed you here recently. I took the tesselating star class from her awhile back and will be able to show her this piece when I see her at our quilt guild on Thursday evening! I put ties (matching the fabrics) in the center of some of the "stars" and put colorful buttons in the center of others. I decided it didn't need anything else done to it, as I am very happy with it just the way it is.

Pat, I remember when you posted about the class, when you showed it in progress and now here it is finished.
IT LOOKS GREAT!
It's gorgeous!
Lovin' the bright colors! Interesting pattern, I think the brights suits it well....good call!
I think I have to hire you as a private tutor, for my tesselation and my pineapple, I think Gyleen will give me a D on both LOL
Great job Pat! Gyleen has visited my guild, The Baltimore Heritage Quilters Guild here in MD, several times.
Very pretty. I love the way it works into the border.
Beautiful Pat!!! I've always loved the tesselating patterns. Isn't it fun to go outside you comfort zone for color?

I really like this one... especially the way a few stars sneak into the border. I'll bet this one was fun!
Reminds me of a colorful flower garden. Very pretty and I like the stars neaking into the borders, too. :-)

It looks great, Pat. I love the pattern of the tessellating stars.

I love your color choices and love this quilt! What a fantastic finish!
Your colors are beautiful and I love how the stars spill out into the border.
Very pretty. I love the way the stars lap over the border and seem to lap over each other.
Love it, Pat. Such a nice piece of work. The batiks are really nice. That pattern is "super". That is certainly a pattern that can stand on its own. Beautiful, my dear friend. Happy Quilting!
Beautiful quilt Pat. I love the colors!
You have a lot of lovely quilts - I marvel at how prolific you are!
This one is darling. So incredibly cute Pat.
