Quilty Box Project: Let's put this together!

The Olivia's Star  is made up of beautiful purples, blues, aquas and pinks, which lends it all sorts of choices for the setting fabric. I chose to do a dark blue, like a dark sky, to let the lighter and brighter colors pieced into the star to glow! 
Reminder! Grab you kaleidoscope tool to auction off setting fabric options!

Take Your Time and Pin!!

Once your background pieces are cut, lay them all out with the diamonds on a flat surface.

Find the centers for the diamond edges as well as the centers for your setting pieces and line them up. PIN!!!

Any excess from the setting pieces can be trimmed off later.

Choosing Background fabrics!

Finished Olivia's Star!!!

Did you know the Olivia's Star has a big sister??! (Just like my Olivia, she has a big sister, Madison) So if you'd like to try the Madison's Star, the big sister version of this, using 2-1/2" strips, hop on over to that pattern here:
