Star Trivet by Cassandra N

Here is my finished block for 8 is Great–Challenge 1 of Project QUILTING Season 8!!! The finished size is 11" x 11", I used English Paper Piecing for the first time.

My inspiration was just using what I had on hand to do something I had never done before. This is my very first fully finished block and I couldn't be happier with it. It was surely a challenge but one that I enjoyed. I made it to be a pan trivet and used an old 100% cotton towel as the betting to prevent any melting (only batting I have is 100% polyester). The backing was cut from an old T-shirt that was on it's way to the trash. I love the idea of using things that would normally be thrown out to make something useful and beautiful.
