OneThing#15 - Pick Fabrics for Challenge Quilt

I came up with an idea I like a few weeks ago, but in addition to using the fabrics included in the challenge, I wanted to round it out with other fabrics to make a four season, four star wall quilt.

 

Here's what we were given:

 


The wavy / stripy fabric, the satin-y red, and the satin-y silver ribbon (with unfinished edge.)

 

The rules include a maximum perimeter and a requirement that we include at least two stars (any style, any technique).

 

 

 

 

 

Here's the rest of what I've chosen:

 


I had played with a bunch of ideas, but since the rules state that you need to include at least two stars (any design or style), I struggled a bit. 

 

Then I decided to just make four Sawtooth Stars using four fabrics per star. The blues are for winter, the fruit and green for spring, aqua and yellow for summer, and fall tones for fall! I am a bit concerned about the silky-like fabrics . . . but I have a call out to a more experienced quilter friend for advice.

 

I need to register for the show AND for the challenge! I think this will be my only quilt in the show this year.
