Eighteen Stars and a Pillow

Eighteen Stars is for a baby boy born to one of my daughter’s co-workers.  Here’s the story . . . .

I was playing with the solid triangle corners from a house quilt I had made last year and they wanted to be the stars.  Then I decided they would make a baby quilt, but I knew of no babies in the pipeline, but you can always be prepared, so I went ahead. I added the sashing to bring it up to a decent size.  Then Mrs T came home from work and told me about her co workers baby boy who had just come home. He was a premie born at 2 pounds, three months early, and we decided if anyone deserved a star quilt, he did.  So this is for you, Mr E with LOVE.

My +x Quilt has moved to my bed, and it needed a pillow.

I just finished it.  Can you have too much of a good thing?  

According to Mae West the answer is NO!
