Stars and Stripes

Despite a *&$# trimming error 

(and more swearing when I had to cut into new fabric to remake *one* block) 

this one is done and headed to the longarmer in the morning. 

I thought it was going in the donate pile, 

but hubby likes it best and wants to keep it, so Mighty Star (here) will get donated instead. 

The backing is 5 yards of fabric I’ve had since Quilt Ventura days. All this time later, I still like it - glad I finally found a good use for it. (Using this emptied out another bin in my storage room. Whoo! Making progress using up the stash.)
