I just finished the Stretched Stars To Go Quilt. I used a green and orange/yellow fabric pack from JoAnn's. You can find the free AccuQuilt Go pattern over here. This is a great way to test out your 4.5" die that comes with the AccuQuilt Go Cutter. You can also make the entire quilt with a rotary cutter and ruler.
I used a Stars panto from Debra Geissler for the machine quilting. I used a very light yellow quilting thread and Hobbs 80/20 bleached batting.
I love the stretched stars with quilted stars. This is such a fast quilt to make and definitely a beginners friendly pattern.
I used this old green checked fabric from my stash for the backing.
I made the two borders wider than the pattern said. I decided to use the same fabric from the outer border for the binding.
Binding is all done!
I am so pleased at how this simple and fast little quilt turned out.
Here is another blue pack of fabric from JoAnn's. Wouldn't a two colored blue and white Stretched Stars To Qo Quilt be beautiful?
Thank you so much for all the comments on my Go giveaway. I am so sorry for not coming back to all of you. I will use a random number generator...so anyone can be the winner. The Go giveaway will close on Saturday morning. I wonder who the lucky winner will be!Happy Quilting until next time!

I love that pattern and it would be wonderful in all different types of fabrics. I saw one like that with the hexagon and points, was thinking it would make a nice christmas quilt.

Love the quilt Millie and the colours are so fresh and the quilting is as always fabulous. It looks like it all came together so quick for you.
I am still sitting here with my fingers and everything else crossed hoping I am the winner of your Go Cutter lol :) Looks like so much fun. Hugs Vicki xx
That is a beautiful quilt. I'm not a green, yellow or orange person but it is really pretty. I love the design of it too. I think I will go look it up.
I have started a blog and would love it if you have the time to stop by and look at it.

Hi Millie, that's an awesome quilt and I would love to make it as well. Winning the GO! giveaway would be a great place to start on this design.
The star panto worked beautifully for this little quilt. The stretched star pattern is a fun one and yours turned out quite nice.
I love this quilt!! It's gorgeous!!!
This is simple but so very beautiful. I love the pattern and will recommend to my sister-in-law who has an accucut. Love the colors.
Great pattern, oh I am crossing my fingers, toes and maybe I will be lucky.

That is the best stretched stars quilt I have ever seen! I think the larger colored triangles is the key. And your colors are wonderful! Great Job.
That is a lovely pattern... and your quilting is amazing.
That quilt came out really nice...I love the quilting pattern that you used.
I like this quilt. It looks so crisp and clean. Really pretty. I would love to win the Go Cutter. I am having some problems with my hands and I think one would be a great help.
You quilt is absolutely beautiful. I really like the quilting you did too!
I love how your quilt turned out and the stars quilting for a star quilt is something I would do. I think the pattern is one that looks good with all sorts of color combinations.
I love this quilt Millie! Very pretty bright fabrics! I think the Go is inspiring you to quilt and finish projects even faster!
Happy sewing!
That stretched star quilt is gorgeous.
That quilt just looks so HAPPY! You have such talent!
I love your blog! And you have done a beautiful job of displaying your quilt in a natural setting outdoors.. I can imagine it with the serene blues, as well. It is so nice to be able to hear that something as beautiful as this can be created fairly quickly..lovely.This one makes me think Spring, whereas the Blues make me think more winter... never used an Accucutter, but it sounds like it cuts loads of time off the prepwork! Thank you so much for sharing, Millie.
LOVE the colour pallet here. So fresh. I am not looking forward to the coming seasons and if I just stare at this I can think SPRING!!!!
Love your quilt Millie! We could also use the chisel die to make it.
I love, love, love the colors in your quilt! So bright and cheery!! Lovely!
Love the quilt and would be over joyed to win.
Sweet little quilt.......
you've done a great job of quilting it too.
Happy sewing
Your star quilting adds the extra oomph to make the quilt a star in my eyes. :)
