A Sweet Summer Star

 Hurrah, hurray! 

Today is the Summer Star Minis And More Parade!

I am so excited to participate this moth...

of the "new year"!

I loved making this sweet Summer Star pattern by

Sherri at

A Quilting Life 

But first I want to mention how cute the

 button for Minis And More is!

Michelle is going to be a perfect partner for Sherri,,,

she has been in AYOS for years and has always 

impressed me and inspired me with her quilts!

I couldn't be more excited to see her team up

with Sherri for this... because, you know...

the 

parade

must 

go 

on!!!

So here is my first entry into

Minis And More.

I don't use batik fabrics very often,

although I think they are gorgeous!

Since it's the first of July, I thought it would be

fun to have a tropical influence of the batik 

fabrics.

I thought about red white and blue also...

but I have made two already this year in that colorway 

and one that is blue and cream batiks.

I haven't shown them yet... because they are 

a secret magazine assignment.

Hopefully I will be able to soon.

I was playing around with my photo editor

and inverted the colors on the  mini quilt...

It was kind of fun to see it in another view!

You will see more Summer Stars at Island Life Quilts

and at A Quilting Life too.
