step 1 of 14

The source is rotated on its side, scaled in width, then duplicated 13 times. Duplicated pieces are placed side by side, flipping pieces horizontally to match blue stone areas.

step 2 of 14

Perspective tool is used to scale down size of one end of this portion of design. This will become one point of the star.

4 more points are duplicated and are ready to shape into star.

Center of star is now filled in using triangles cut out of a duplicate of the star. By fliping and rotating the pattern will match up.

step 6 of 14

On a new canvas a layer of light tan is used with a darker border on each side. Then, the star is brought in, scaled to a smaller size, then duplicated. Using rotate tool, and flipping when necessary, stars are placed point to point and scaled until they fit the border size.

step 7 of 14

In the same way, stars are placed across and top and bottom of canvas. A large star is placed in the middle. I started to 'quilt' around the shapes, but later will remove all but stitches around center star.

step 8 of 14

In place of the quilting, I decided to add a diamond design formed with eraser tool from the stone area on the source photo. 4 diamonds are placed with points in center, then merged to be duplicated.

Stars formed from diamonds are placed to complete the design, then merged with rest of work.

On a new canvas, the source is placed at top (stretched sideways also with the scale tool) and the rest of canvas is brushed with a blue gray color.

Creation of Star Quilt: Step 13

step 14 of 14

Here the hangers are placed at top (Using brush tool set in dissolve mode), and the burn tool makes shadows where quilt is not hanging even and at top and bottom where shadows might form from the way the quilt is hanging.
