I had been rummaging around in my fabric the day before and was reminded how much backing fabric I have one hand. I made a back from some of the fabric even though it made the quilt more girly than boyish. It was quicker to use a large piece than to piece a bunch of smaller pieces together.<\/p>\n<p>I am pleased with the asymmetrical layout of the top. It isn&#8217;t quite ideal, but it is much more interesting than the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/star-donation-quilt-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">first version of this design<\/a>. I don&#8217;t know that I will make more of these blocks right at the moment. I have some blue and white 16 patches that have been hanging around waiting for their turn on the design wall that I think I will work on next for a donation quilt.
