Disappearing 9 Patch!

My fascination with the disappearing nine patch continues.  This was made for a friendly challenge among the BFG's (also known as the Bodacious Fabric Goddesses).  I was given some lovely Batik fabrics, a request for an off center star, and some size limits which I forget exactly but which I'm sure I met. 

I added a few batiks from my stash and began making nine patches using Eleanor Burns' method which gives you two nine patches from one procedure.   Then I cut all the nine patches on the diagonal once.  I played around with that and didn't see what I wanted, so I cut all the diagonal pieces again.  Basically, each of the nine patches was cut twice on the diagonal.  I laid them out to get my star and surrounding blocks.  The side and bottom border of the blue grounded the piece I thought.  It's finished with a simple black border and binding of one of the blues.

It was a fun project even if I did procrastinate and had to finish the top, quilting, binding in one marathon day, which, of course, was the day before we met at Bon Vie Bistro in Easton to exchange.
