Tarrytown Stars and Octagon Quilt

This gorgeous quilt was designed and made by Michelle Yeo using her new fabric range Tarrytown.

The free downloadable pattern is available here.

I love how Michelle fussy cut the fabric for each star.  Even though it takes longer I decided to ditch stitch the stars to let the fabric shine.  If you look closely, I also emphasised the octagon shape around each star with straight lines, which unfortunately doesn't show up in the photo that well. 

The border fabric is so beautiful.  Originally I was going to quilt it more heavily, but decided to keep the quilting lighter to once again showcase the fabric.
