My Old, Old Project is coming along: Now the Starburst Quilt

The Starburst Quilt in process, 2013

I feel I need to add the year as I do these steps because as I suggested previously, I started this project while I was still in high school. (I think I did anyway. Or maybe I started it the summer after first year. Regardless, in the early 2000s.)

My normal clutter mantra is to get rid of things like this. This has been my one exception because when I took out, I felt inspired. I don't know why. Old, unfinished projects rarely give me this feeling. And then I just get rid of them because I am busy and I don't need to feel guilty about things that I am not doing--because I am doing plenty of new things. And new stuff is always funner than old stuff.

Except in this case.

Now I have appliqued the pieces onto this dark blue fabric and I'm debating what to do. The blue fabric was at the recommendation of my mother who thought it would give it a good contrast. I agree. But now what? Maybe my mom will have to take it home with her and think about it... (Heads up, mom.)

I am also debating on whether I should make it big enough for a twin because we are increasing the number of twin beds we have in our house yet again.
