After drafting and refining the pattern for this little star block I began pulling scraps. I was pulling blues too, for awhile; and then one little star told me (obviously the spokesperson for the group) that they really wanted to live out their lives as a red and white quilt! OK, little star, I'm listening. There will be every shade of red and white, these little stars will, indeed, be twinkling! I've set aside an hour a day to stitch up one set, positive/negative, from two different fabrics. At that rate, with solid determination, there could be a completed center portion of this quilt top in early November... that and a cavernous dent in my stash of reds and whites. Wish me luck.

When I first looked at it I thought it was going to be red and cheddar! The floor at a glance made me think that (and I have to say, I liked it!)
ReplyDeleteRed and white will be stunning too :)
Oh dear, I'm in love! I need another project like I need a hole in my head......oh dear...I think I hear all those black and whites in my stash crying out......

ReplyDeleteWow that is stunning. I would love the pattern now that I see what you have done with the individual block. I see that best as a 2 color quilt. Eagerly awaiting pattern. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteA classic in the making, and I hope to see it hanging as an entry in the March 2012 quilt show red and white challenge. I am looking forward to watching as it unfolds. B
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your EQ pattern and the quilt design. I love playing around in EQ.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is great. It almost made me dizzy with the look of waves.
ReplyDeleteWow that is going to be an incredibly beautiful quilt. I hope the recipient is really special and will appreciate all the effort that is put into it.
