Except for the basting, the Tarts are ready to quilt. I didn&#8217;t realize that this piece was acting like a creativity dam. It was stopping up my creative problem solving for other projects. As soon as I did the applique&#8217; and put the border on, I felt like I could do anything. It was an awesome feeling.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5174\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5174\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PICT6366sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5174\" title=\"Tea Kettle with Stars\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PICT6366sm-300x258.jpg\" alt=\"Tea Kettle with Stars\" width=\"300\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PICT6366sm-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/PICT6366sm-1024x880.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5174\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tea Kettle with Stars<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I tried a number of slight variations in location for the stars, for about 2 minutes, and then I just appliqued them on.
