Shooting Star Appliqué

Hello again blogworld!  As promised I have written out the pattern for my shooting star appliqué that goes with the Summer Wishes Shirt posted earlier.  I gave this one to my daughter.  She told me she's going to put it under her pillow at night and make wishes with it.  She also told me that I have to make another one to put on a shirt so she can look like her doll!  And without further adieu...

  1. I think this would make a cool bookmark too. On the glittery white part instead of stopping at Rnd 7 you can keep repeating Rnd 2 until it is about bookmark length and then do Rnd 8. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern.
    It is very neat and a great idea. :)
