AnnP Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I usually stitch in the ditch for stars to pop out. Can anyone help me find a way to quilt the stars and make them stars of the quilt? I meanI don't want to take anything away from the stars. Its for a quilt of valor. Thanks for your responses in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbams Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Ann, do you have a picture of the type of stars you are wanting to make pop? There are a lot of different types of stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbams Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 For some reason my computer is not letting me look at the pictures up close. However, based on what I can see in the smaller size, what about doing a fairly dense fill in the light background fabric around each star, after you SID around the star? If you use a thread that matches the background fabric, that would make the stars pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnP Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Thanks dbams. Thats what I usually do. I want to quilt the stars, but don't want to take anything away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbams Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Second batch of pictures works for me. Sorry I don't have a new idea for you. Is that the Lucky Stars pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Continuous curves in the star points. An echoed curve around the center block. .like a double continuous curve. Straight lines coming out of the v shaped background between the star points. A fill of your choice in the corner squares. If you don't want to do ruler work for the straight lines, you can get a similar look with L type loops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheri Butler Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Lynn, you actually took my exact suggestion to her. LOL!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnP Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Perfect Idea Lynn, and Sheri (thinking the same thing). Its from the quilts of valor. As you probably already know. They send quilts to longarmers to quilt for them. Love to do that, and I get to pray for the person that receives the quilt while Im quilting it. Thanks everyone for helping. I think Ive got it now.
