I love your little stars--very sweet. How about the moda muslin that has a varigated appearance to it??? I am using it in a primitive gatherings quilt project--it is just great. Looks old due to the variances of colors throughout the piece of muslin. Just a thought--I am sure you will come up with a great background for these little sweeties!!Judy Dietrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03310395493132902215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-69556708870098804192013-01-17T12:28:39.209-06:002013-01-17T12:28:39.209-06:00The little stars are scrumptious!

I'm not sure what I'd put them on but if it's a print, it would be a small one so as not to detract from all the work you did on the stars. And your stitching is beautiful!
