Around 12 years ago I bought some pretty soft coloured fabrics with great intentions...mmm, I'm sure you know what I mean. Fast forward 8 years... I started sewing these 8 pointed stars by hand from said fabrics while I watched my son have his Karate classes. I made 20 or so 8 1/2 inch blocks, now another 4 years have passed and I have been finishing off the last 6 or 7 blocks by machine. I laid them out on point over the back of an old quilt yesterday and I think it will make quite a nice quilt once it's finished. The quilting will have to be a "star" too with so much quilters muslin. Not much of anything else going on as life has been getting in the way of quilting!
The colours look a bit washed out in this picture so I took some of individual blocks.
The colours are more accurate in these pictures .
I'm looking forward to quiet Easter school holidays and some time to devote to finishing off my French Bouquet quilt top. I'm about to tackle a scalloped border for the first time and I bought
Darlene Zimmerman's Easy Scallop tool on the recommendation of Lyn from
Sew n' Wild Oaks, I hope it's as easy as Lyn makes it look!
Happy Easter to you all,
Rowena
