Les étoiles de Cécile - Brille

It is finally May! I just realized that I haven't showed you my little 16 stars challenge hosted by Béa et Cécile in France. It has been waiting for April 30th for so long and then I forget about it. lol.

It started with some applique stars that took to long to make. So I switched to little 3 inches Ohio Stars. Much easier.

Altogether, sixteen stars were made and then they grew a lined border on two sides.

(Please remember that this project was started back in January 2020. There was no way I could have foreseen what was about to happen in March 2020.)

I did this quilt to show that we are all unique and beautiful.

Brille/Shine tells us that we are Stars and even though,

some of us are shy to let our light shine ...

or that we feel awkward in front of people (that's me) ...

or we have some handicap, physical or mental, or we have been broken by abuse and lies, or we are a wallflower,


we can all shine a beautiful light that can brighten up other people's day, moment or even their life.

And this is even more apparent during this hard time of COVID-19. Thank you to all of you who still make this world go round; Doctors, nurses, truck drivers, police, firefighters, first line people all over, thank you.

No matter what happen today, you can still shine. Give your light to others. No one knows what the other went through.

A candle looses nothing by lighting up another candle.


Back of Shine.

Overcast day makes very poor pictures. Sorry. All it needs is a good wash and blocking.


Merci Béa et Cécile for this fun sew-along. Gros bisous.

Stay safe everyone. 💗
