It does look kind of long and skinny in the photo but it's just fine. The pattern in Block is for a larger quilt but I wanted twin size, my quilt finishes 63" by 89".
Several years ago I made a crib quilt using a Summer Breeze charm pack and some yardage. The yardage fabrics found their way into the border too.
More pictures of Calico Stars.
For the binding I used blue and green strips left from the crib quilt I pieced so many years ago.

How awesome to get a cute twin quilt out of a layer cake and some leftovers of that same line... I bet someone is gonna be HAPPY... Love the quilting design you chose and that olive green binding is nice... so is all the scrappiness :D Kathi
That is such a pretty quilt - design and fabric! Congratulations on the finish!
it is a pretty quilt - you mentioned a mistake and it took awhile to find it so I doubt it is noticeable if not known it is there
Oooh a happy finish! That's a fun quilting design, and pretty quilt :o).
Hi Gretchen! What an absolutely beautiful finish. Wow, the colors and the fabrics look just gorgeous. I never would have noticed the error and I'm glad you're not going to let it bother you. You can say it's a creative design choice! I'm a big fan of polka dots so I also love your choice for backing. I hope you have a nice twin bed to enjoy this on. Thanks for linking up today. ~smile~ Roseanne
What a pretty quilt! I love your colors and it is a very happy backing!
This is a Christmas present for a 10 year old granddaughter. I'm ahead on the Christmas plans!
Your Calico Stars quilt came out so pretty, Gretchen! I love the daisy quilting, too -- perfect complement to your lovely floral fabrics!
Your Calico Stars quilt is so pretty. Take care, Mary.
Gretchen, this is so pretty!! Great way to create a border with the leftover layer cake squares too. Good for you having a holiday gift finished already.
You did great on using up all the fabric - the back is bubbly. Think they call it a “Humility Block”! Great work!
Really so pretty.
This is a very pretty quilt! I love how you used leftover squares and yardage for the border! It really adds to the quilt!
Happy Quilting! :-)
Lovely finish and the soft fabrics are perfect for the design. Great job. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.
I remember this from when it was a flimsy. So beautiful and summery. Still love it now it's finished, personalized block and all. Thanks for linking up with the Chameleon's Colour & Inspiration Tuesday. :)
Such pretty fabrics! What a lovely quilt this turned out to be. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
