i traced around it randomly, using white chalk...
star motif in chalk |
I also decided to go with a plain brown fabric for the backing to better show the star's stitches...
the color I chose for the thread is Gutermann col. 1800 a beautiful copper-y red

pretty color! |
the thread color blends with the backing's fabric color, but still shows up against it.
I thought a double-stitched line would be better, and I like the way it looks ~
not too heavy for such a tiny quilt...

doubled the stitching to help it show up more. |
I like the fact that the stitches 'hide' on the actual front of the quilt...taking nothing away from the handpieced triangles or their colors...
