Eight-point star in cream and blue

While I wasn't happy with my first quilt, I was thrilled with my second attempt.  Perhaps it's because my sister picked out the fabrics.  She's always had a good eye for color.  Though it was also made in the mid-90s, it doesn't show it's age so much, as the colors are just classic.  Cream and pale blue.  This project was a big step up from my first attempt because instead of just straight lines and strip piecing I was working with triangles and tricky seams.  I'm sure there's a better way to do it than the way I did, but it worked. This was my second and last quilt to hand-quilt.  I finished it for her as a present before leaving the country for three years.
