I pulled out my tub of small cream and white scraps, and also used a mini charm pack of Prairie by Corey Yoder for Moda (another lovely prize from Linda's giveaway in January!) for these scrappy stars.
Following this tutorial over at Bonnie Hunter's blog helped me get started. It was great fun to stitch the stars up without much need for cutting or measuring! The sweet colors of the Prairie mini charms make me think of an Easter basket!
After making three stars, I added some sashing and borders from my stash, and this little mini now measures about 12 1/2" by 26 1/2." The perfect size to decorate the top of my desk.
Next step: find some backing and binding, quilt it up, and put it to use! I'll be back over at Oh Scrap! with Cynthia and all of our quilty friends today, looking for more scrappy inspiration!

What a pretty Spring/Easter runner your star blocks make! Scraps really are a lot of fun! Christine x
I love how you added the charms to the corners of the border. So creative and inspiring! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Very springy, I love those stars!
Beautiful runner Diann. Maverick Star is a great pattern and you did a great job with them.
I have been thinking about marking stars like these lately. Yours are lovely, especially in the runner you made.
