I'm not sure if I posted this here or not, but I dug out the photo to put on Facebook's quilting group, so I thought I'd share. I call this my star quilt, inspired by one (in much more somber fabrics, probably old clothes) that I saw on Pinterest years ago. It took me over a year to sew by hand. Each star is unique. I'm getting ready to sew another one, which is why I was looking at the photos. I'll need more fabric (yay!) to make it big enough to cover my bed. I can't wait to start sewing again; it's been a long time.

That really is lovely.  I think that a project like you are planning would make a good form of stress management (which everybody seems to need a lot of these days) as well as an outlet for creativity.

It's very soothing. And I listen to audiobooks while I sew. It's great.
My Lord and my God.

Beautiful quilt, Bernadette! It *is* a relaxing hobby and in 2020, that's a good thing.
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Very nice!  I love it.  English paper piecing?

No, I just cut out the pieces with a template, marked the seam lines, and sewed the pieces together.

What stunning work.  I love it.

I'd want to treasure this forever.
And formerly the heretics were manifest; but now the Church is filled with heretics in disguise.  
St Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lecture 15, para 9.

And what rough beast, it's hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Even more impressive!
