    Other notes:
    Idea for top came after seeing a quilt made by Mary Wintle of Richmond, QC. Her permission was given. One of the stars was made using left over fabric from Mary's quilt that I purchased from her. Gold star on back wouldn't fit in on front, even though it was sewn in twice and then removed. It just didn't show. I sewed the stars in & changed them twice, thus the title "Fed Up with Stars"
