Seeing Stars Throw Pillow

"For this month's 4th of July series, I wanted to share a throw pillow covered in stars. Originally, I envisioned the pillow in a solid blue, and the stars all in white, but the more I thought about it, I couldn't decide if I wanted Navy blue or Royal blue, and since I didn't have Navy on hand, gray popped into my mind. Gray is such a fitting color for so many things - I think it turned out perfect! I used Red Heart Super Saver, but Caron One Pound and Bernat Super Value are good alternatives, and the 14" size took me about 7 hours to work up."
