Here's my version of "Smokey Mountain Stars" in 1930s reproduction prints. It's twin size.

I love it, Purplefiend! I have a ton of 30's repro fabrics and never realized how good they would look in this pattern. Thanks for the idea!

I LOVE it! I've been collecting shirts for something like this. I like the subtleness of the stars. And that's a fun surprise of the Hawaiian shirt pieces. Were the shirts difficult to handle? I think this is what I've been looking for. Your border sounds like a great idea.

This is gorgeous! It makes me think of salt water taffy wrapped in papers. I like your background fabric, too.

The stars are wonderful! Very subtle and yet obvious - can that be? Great job.

sewbizgirl,
I really like this quilt in plaids. It looks much different than my version. I like how the same pattern can look totally different when done in different fabrics.
