one penny, little pieces, & a star is born

That is a penny.

See that shiny little circle on the bottom left-hand corner?

Yep, a penny!

on that little project...

and all those little pieces are

half inch finished half-square triangles.

This:

a fat quarter each of red and black fabrics,
plus a fat eighth of tan fabric

plus 10 strips of these:

equals 120 of these little half-square triangles (not the penny!):

and in a couple of hours,
an almost 12 inch square wall hanging is done!

(Kits with patterns are available at my LQS if

you need to have

one of these little stars in your life!)

The pattern is by Primitive Gatherings...
Those little pieces are done using Thangles from the 'Mini Pack 1/2" and 3/4" packet'...
the penny is from your pocket...
Too cute!
