Vanishing Stars Project Quilting Season 14, Challenge 4

  This is the fourth challenge of Season 14 of Project Quilting.

I'm excited to join in the challenge -  A Novel Project

My entry:

Vanishing Stars

Kim at Persimon Dreams hosts Project Quilting
and

this is the 10th year I'm participating.

Kim announces a challenge and you have one week to create something quilty.

Prizes can be won and it's a great way to meet new blogging friends.

The rule in this challenge is to be inspired by a book you have read.

It must include either applique, piecing, or have 3 layers stitched together by hand or machine.

I had just finished the book, "The Forest of Vanishing Stars", by Kristin Harmel when the challenge was announced. It seemed like the logical choice of books.

This is a historical fiction novel (my favorite kind of read)

about survival in World War II. 

 It's sooooo good.  It's one that I just couldn't put down.

I've kind of developed a theme this year for the challenges of quilting tiny.

This was a tough one, as I wanted to do so many details, but in the end, 

each tiny star is inspired by a part of the book.  

2 1/2" finished blocks and then I added the center black and white star in the center.

The black and white star is for a pivotal person/moment in the book.

You'll have to read it to see.
